A total of 53 aspirants have picked nomination forms to contest for positions on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), following the close of nominations on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
The figures indicate competition for several key leadership positions as the party prepares for its national executive elections, which are expected to shape its leadership and organisational direction.
For the position of National Chairman, five aspirants have picked nomination forms, while 19 have expressed interest in contesting for the National Vice Chairman position.
Meanwhile, 11 aspirants have picked nomination forms to contest for Deputy General Secretary, with 14 others seeking the position of Deputy National Organiser.
The race for National Organiser, however, appears settled at the nomination stage, with Joseph Yamin emerging as the sole aspirant for the position.
He is therefore expected to go unopposed, subject to the party’s electoral rules and the completion of the relevant processes.
The close of nominations marks an important stage in the NDC’s internal electoral process, setting the stage for the next steps towards electing national officers to steer the affairs of the party.
The number of aspirants who have picked nomination forms reflects varying levels of interest in the different positions, particularly the National Vice Chairman and National Chairman roles.
The party is expected to proceed with the subsequent stages of its internal election process in accordance with its established guidelines.
The final list of qualified candidates and any further details regarding the election timetable are expected to clarify the field of contenders for the various national executive positions.
