Delegates in Greater Accra have handed the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the region to Benjamin Danso, ending Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore’s nearly four-year stay in office.
Danso emerged victorious in the party’s regional executive elections held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, beating the incumbent who was seeking another term.
Ashie Moore first won the chairmanship in November 2022 when he unseated then-chairman Joseph Ade Coker.
Ahead of Saturday’s vote, he had expressed confidence that delegates would retain him, pointing to his record and leadership of the party in the region.
“I’m very confident the delegates today will reward hard work,” he told reporters before voting began.
Delegates, however, settled on Danso to lead the party in Greater Accra for the next four years.
During his campaign, Danso promised to lead with service, integrity and commitment to the grassroots. He also outlined plans to strengthen party structures across all 34 constituencies in the region and build a united front to position the NDC for victory in the 2028 general elections.
Danso previously served as NDC Constituency Chairman for Krowor. In June 2023, he was elected chairman of the Greater Accra NDC Constituency Chairmen’s Association, a caucus of constituency chairpersons in the region. The role gave him experience in coordinating and engaging party leaders beyond his own constituency.
