Daniel Niibi Afotey Odai was elected Deputy Regional Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Greater Accra after a narrow victory over three other candidates in the party’s regional executive elections held on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Niibi captured 45 votes, just one more than his nearest rival, Atsu Eric Afeme, who polled 44. Jones Klutse received 32 votes, while Rashid Isah managed eight.
The result places Niibi in a key position within the NDC’s youth leadership as the party continues its internal reorganisation ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Niibi’s political journey began at the branch level, serving eight years as Deputy Youth Organiser for the Krowor Constituency where he mobilised young voters and helped build party structures. He holds a degree in Political Science from the University of Ghana and is a Chartered Manager.
Outside politics, Niibi is the District Director of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in Krowor, connecting young people to jobs and skills development. He also manages Nungua Royals FC and works as a media consultant with the Multimedia Group.
During his campaign he championed the message, “Youth in Politics: From Spectators to Decision Makers,” and proposed a functional Greater Accra Youth Secretariat, a database of young party members across the 34 constituencies, a 24‑hour youth hotline, youth desk officers in every constituency, and a welfare scheme for young members.
As Deputy Regional Youth Organiser, Niibi will collaborate with the regional leadership to strengthen youth mobilisation and party structures throughout Greater Accra.
