Hamza Suhuyini, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team, has said that the NDC will miss the institutional memory of the current National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, who is not seeking reelection.
Hamza stated that Mr Nketia is not only an experienced member of the NDC, but he has institutional memory.
“It is not just his experience, but institutional memory. We will not pretend that we are not going to miss an important figure; we will,” he said on the KeyPoints on TV3 Saturday, October 24.
He, however, said that the NDC is working to fill that vacuum.
“We are doing everything to ensure that vacuum will be filled,” he said.
The NDC closed nominations for its 2026 National Executive Elections, with 137 prospective aspirants picking up nomination forms to contest 14 positions.
In a statement dated Wednesday, October 21, 2026, and signed by the Spokesperson for the Congress Elections Committee, Dr Peter Boamah Otokunor, the party announced that the nomination process closed at 5 pm on the same day.
The aspirants have 14 days to complete their nomination forms, pay the required filing fees and secure the necessary endorsements in accordance with the party’s 2026 guidelines for the conduct of the National Congress.
The filing of completed nomination forms is scheduled for November 7 to 9, 2026, at the party’s headquarters in Adabraka, Accra.
