The newly elected Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the La Dadekopon Constituency, Samuel Sowah Oblejumah, has pledged to improve the administration of the constituency through innovative leadership, sound financial management and grassroots development.
Mr Oblejumah, who polled 806 votes to win the chairmanship in the constituency’s 2026 executive elections held last Saturday, said his administration would adopt effective corporate governance principles to strengthen the party’s structures and improve its organisational and financial performance.
Speaking to the media after his victory, he said his vision was to make the constituency one of the best-administered in the country.
“I will run the constituency to make it one of the best-administered constituencies in the country,” he stated.
Resource mobilisation
Mr Oblejumah said his administration would explore innovative ways of mobilising funds and managing available resources to ensure that branches and wards received adequate support to carry out their activities.
He said efficient administration and financial sustainability would be key to building a viable constituency capable of supporting the party’s future political engagements.
