Nii Lante Vanderpuye intensifies NDC chairmanship campaign with Greater Accra tour

NDC chairman hopeful engages constituency executives in 12 constituencies

National Democratic Congress (NDC) chairmanship hopeful, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has intensified his campaign for the party’s national chairmanship position following a series of engagements with constituency executives across the Greater Accra Region.

The former Member of Parliament for Odododiodio said the engagements had provided him with the opportunity to interact directly with party executives, listen to their concerns and discuss his vision for the future of the NDC.

In a campaign message, Mr Vanderpuye said he had visited 12 constituencies in the Greater Accra Region as part of efforts to build support for his bid to lead the party.

The constituencies included Ada, Sege, Ningo Prampram, Kpone Katamanso, Ashaiman, Tema East, Tema West, Tema Central, Krowor, Ledzokuku, La Dadekotopon and Klottey Korle.

He described the engagements as more than ordinary political meetings, saying they were important conversations that would help shape the party’s future direction.

According to him, the interactions had enabled him to understand the concerns of grassroots executives and gather ideas on how the party could strengthen its structures and improve its internal operations.

“I have listened. I have heard the concerns. I have taken the ideas on board,” he said.

Mr Vanderpuye said his campaign was anchored on a vision to reset, reform and rebuild the NDC, stressing the need for collective efforts to strengthen the party and prepare it for future political challenges.

His campaign message, built around the slogan “RESET. REFORM. REBUILD,” sought to present his leadership ambition as one focused on party renewal, unity and stronger grassroots participation.

He also expressed confidence in the growing support for his campaign, describing the enthusiasm among constituency executives as encouraging.

“The message is clear. The energy is strong. The movement is growing,” he said.

The Greater Accra engagements formed part of his wider campaign efforts to connect with party structures and communicate his leadership vision to delegates ahead of the NDC national officers’ elections.

Mr Vanderpuye’s campaign has placed emphasis on direct engagement with constituency executives, who play an important role in the party’s organisational structure and internal electoral processes.

He urged party members and supporters to remain committed to the collective goal of building a stronger NDC, expressing confidence that his proposed reforms would receive the support needed to move the party forward.

He maintained that the journey towards the national chairmanship election remained on course, adding that he believed victory was within reach.
