Fifi Kwetey and Joseph Yammin Lone Filers for Top NDC Executive Posts

Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), may retain his post without a contest, as he is so far the only person to have filed nomination forms for the position ahead of the party's national executive elections.

As first reported by Citi News, a notice released by the NDC listing the nomination forms it has received shows Mr Kwetey as the only aspirant recorded for the General Secretary slot.

He is not the only one in that situation. According to the party's notice, Joseph Yammin is currently the lone aspirant to have submitted forms for National Organiser. Godwin Ako Gunn is likewise the only name recorded for the position of National Communications Officer.

Other positions have drawn more interest. Two aspirants, Abigail Elorm Mensah and Betty Nana Mensah, have filed to become National Women's Organiser.

The race for National Chairman has attracted the largest field so far, with four people submitting nomination forms. They are Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, Akwasi Opong-Fosu, Nii Armah Ashietey and Sofo Azourka Awudu.

The NDC stressed that its notice was published for information only. The party said the list does not amount to confirmation of any nomination, and that it does not set out when balloting or the elections will take place.

The records reflect only those aspirants who had filed their forms at the time the notice was issued, as the party gets ready for the internal polls to choose its national executives.

Whether Mr Kwetey, Mr Yammin and Mr Gunn ultimately go unopposed will depend on the final, confirmed list of nominations, which the party has not yet released.
