Former Korle Klottey Member of Parliament Nii Armah Ashitey filed his nomination forms on Monday, November 9, 2026, and has called on National Democratic Congress (NDC) delegates to elect him as the party’s next National Chairman.
Speaking to the media after submitting his paperwork, Ashitey said his experience, maturity and strong grassroots connections position him to provide effective leadership for the party.
He pledged to strengthen the party’s administration and ensure equal opportunities for its members, adding that effective administration would be central to his leadership. “I’m bringing on board experience, knowledge, maturity to reposition, redirect the party. To provide equal opportunity for all members and to set a new course to benefit all the members of the NDC,” he said.
He stressed the need for stronger management and monitoring structures from the branch level through to the national leadership, noting that “the whole thing is about administration. How to manage the party at all levels, branch, ward, constituency, region, national, with a keen focus on effective management and monitoring of elections.”
Ashitey is one of five aspirants vying to succeed incumbent National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, who has decided not to seek re‑election. The other contenders are former Odododiodio MP Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, National Vice Chairman Sofo Azorka and former Local Government Minister Akwasi Oppong‑Fosu.
The election of the NDC’s national executives is scheduled for Saturday, December 19, 2026, when delegates will gather for the party’s National Congress to elect the chairman, general secretary and other national officers.
