Benjamin Danso has won the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Greater Accra Regional Chairmanship election, defeating incumbent chairman Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore in a keenly contested race.
The victory has triggered massive jubilation among supporters of Mr Danso at the collation centre, with party members celebrating the change in leadership of the Greater Accra Regional Secretariat.
The atmosphere was charged with excitement as supporters erupted in celebration following the announcement of the election outcome.
Several government appointees, including ministers, Members of Parliament (MPs) and Municipal, Metropolitan and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), were also seen visibly dancing and celebrating the electoral process.
The contest attracted significant attention, with delegates voting to elect new regional executives who will steer the affairs of the party over the next four years.
Mr Danso’s victory brings an end to Ashie-Moore’s tenure as Greater Accra Regional Chairman and ushers in a new leadership for the party in the region.
The Greater Accra elections form part of the NDC’s nationwide internal reorganisation ahead of its national executive elections and preparations for the 2028 general elections.
The newly elected regional chairman is expected to lead efforts to strengthen the party’s structures, improve grassroots mobilisation and coordinate its activities across the region.
