Kojo Danquah, the Eastern Regional Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed confidence in his chances of winning the party’s Deputy National Communications Officer position following his vetting.
Speaking to journalists after the exercise, Danquah described the vetting process as smooth, commending the Bertrand Committee for what he said was a relaxed and conversational engagement.
He explained that the exercise did not present any difficulty, noting that his current position within the party’s communication structure was acknowledged during the interaction.
Asked about the number he picked during the vetting, Danquah said he selected number six, which he associated with victory in the December 19, 2026, NDC National Delegates Congress.
“For us, it means victory. It means that we are going to win come 19th December 2026, and there is nothing that prevents the victory that is coming,” he stated.
Says campaign has already begun
Danquah dismissed suggestions that his campaign was beginning after the vetting, explaining that he had already started engaging delegates across the country following the party’s opening of nominations.
He disclosed that he had visited several regions to present his message to delegates, describing his campaign agenda as practical and focused on issues he believes party delegates can identify with.
According to him, his priority is to communicate a message that resonates with delegates and earns their support at the December congress.
Says he has an advantage over other aspirants
The Eastern Regional Communications Officer also expressed confidence in his candidacy, arguing that his current position within the party’s communication structure gives him an advantage over the other contenders.
He claimed to be the only aspirant holding a regional communication leadership position, insisting that his experience within the party’s established structure makes him well-positioned for the national role.
“I don’t see this as a keenly contested position. Among all the aspirants, I’m the only one who holds a position when it comes to communication in the party. I’m the only regional executive, specifically regional communications officer,” he said.
Danquah further predicted that he would emerge as the first elected Deputy National Communications Officer of the NDC.
The party is expected to elect its national officers at its 9th National Delegates Congress on December 19, 2026.
