Mr Danso’s victory ends Mr Ashie Moore’s bid to retain the chairmanship, despite his confidence ahead of the polls that delegates would give him another mandate based on his performance and leadership of the party in the region.
At the end of the polls, Benjamin Danso secured 515 votes, defeating incumbent Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore, who polled 295 votes. Michael Tetteh Kwetey obtained 161 votes, while Ibrahim Jajah secured 63 votes.
Before voting began on Saturday, November 14, Mr Ashie Moore had expressed optimism about retaining his position, saying he believed delegates would reward his hard work.
However, the outcome of the polls went in Mr Danso’s favour, handing him the mandate to lead the NDC in the Greater Accra Region for the next four years.
Ahead of the elections, Mr Danso, who successfully went through the vetting process, had pledged to lead with service, integrity and commitment to the party’s grassroots.
He also outlined his vision of building a strong and united party structure across all 34 constituencies in the region, with the aim of securing victory for the NDC in the 2028 general elections.
