The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, is the only aspirant recorded as having submitted nomination forms for the position ahead of the party’s national executive elections.
A notice of submissions issued by the party lists Mr Kwetey as the sole applicant for General Secretary, raising the possibility that he could contest unopposed if he remains the only approved candidate.
The NDC has cautioned that the submission record is for information purposes only and does not constitute confirmation of nominations. Aspirants must go through the party’s vetting process before the final list of qualified candidates is determined.
Other positions on the filing list
The notice also records Joseph Yammin as the only aspirant for National Organiser and Godwin Ako Gunn as the sole applicant for National Communications Officer.
Other positions have attracted more than one aspirant. Abigail Elorm Mensah and Betty Nana Mensah are listed for National Women’s Organiser.
Four people submitted forms for National Chairman:
- Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye
- Akwasi Opong-Fosu
- Nii Armah Ashietey
- Sofo Azourka Awudu
Complaint over nomination portal
Meanwhile, prospective General Secretary aspirant Stephen Donkor has complained that he was unable to complete his filing through the party’s online nomination portal.
In a petition to the Congress Elections Committee, Mr Donkor said his login details had been changed without his consent. He said he had paid the filing fee and asked to be allowed to submit his nomination while the access issue was resolved.
The NDC’s Acting Director of IT and Elections, Mahdi Jibril, rejected claims that the party was deliberately preventing Mr Donkor from contesting. He said party officials had assisted the aspirant with the process.
Vetting ahead of congress
The party set November 7 to 9 for the submission of national executive nomination forms. Vetting has been scheduled for November 11 and 12.
Under the NDC’s wider election timetable, the National Youth and Women’s Conference is scheduled for December 12, while the National Delegates Congress is set for December 19, 2026.
