National Democratic Congress internal election processes
Overview
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has initiated organizational processes for its upcoming internal and general elections in Ghana.
For the 2026 constituency executive elections, nominations were scheduled to open on September 15, 2026, with a closing date of September 17. To be eligible as an aspirant, proposer, seconder, or endorser, members must be in good standing by having fully paid membership dues for the previous four years. The party specified that nomination form payments must be processed through an online portal via mobile money. The election process includes candidate vetting in late September, with the constituency elections set for October 24 and 25, 2026. The party noted that the campaign window does not apply to those with parliamentary ambitions.
In parallel, the NDC has begun mobilizing polling agents for the 2027 general elections. Local and state chairmen have been directed to harmonize lists of agents for National Assembly, governorship, and state House of Assembly elections, with a two-week deadline to submit these lists for leadership approval.
