A Deputy General Secretary aspirant of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dzifa Tegah, has pledged to strengthen the party’s grass-roots structures, improve administrative efficiency and promote inclusive leadership if elected.
She said she would bring the party’s national secretariat closer to members and executives across the country, ensuring that their concerns were addressed, records properly maintained and sacrifices recognised.
Ms Tegah, the incumbent National Deputy Women’s Organiser, made the pledge when she declared her intention to contest the position at Rawlings House, the party’s headquarters in Accra yesterday.
“I will bring the Secretariat closer to you, closer to every member of the NDC, its members and executives across the country,” she said.
She added that she would work to ensure that no member was left behind in the party’s administration.
Eleven persons including Ms Tegah at the close of the party’s nominations had picked forms to contest the Deputy General Secretary position at the party’s national congress scheduled for December 19, 2026.
Stronger administration
Ms Tegah said effective administration, communication and mobilisation were essential to preparing the party for victory in the 2028 general election and beyond.
She noted that electoral victories were built through effective management and well-organised party structures long before election day.
Drawing on her experience as National Deputy Women’s Organiser and a former constituency communications officer, she said she had acquired the skills and experience needed to support the General Secretary and improve coordination between the national secretariat and the party’s structures nationwide.
She pledged to bring hard work, loyalty, sound judgement and discretion to the office.
Inclusive leadership
Ms Tegah also promised to promote opportunities for young women and men who actively participated in party activities to assume leadership positions.
She urged delegates to assess her record and proposed agenda before deciding whom to support, saying she was offering experience and a practical plan for strengthening the party.
Describing the contest as a race among comrades rather than enemies, she called on fellow aspirants to maintain unity, stressing that they would remain under the same party umbrella after the elections.
She said the NDC’s ultimate task was to build a stronger, united and well-organised party capable of securing victory in 2028.
