Benjamin Danso has emerged as the new Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), defeating incumbent Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore in the party’s regional executive elections held on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
According to report, Benjamin Danso’s victory ends Ashie Moore’s tenure as regional chairman and hands him the responsibility of leading the party’s affairs across the Greater Accra Region for the next four years.
The defeat comes despite Ashie Moore’s confidence ahead of the election, having expressed optimism that delegates would give him another mandate in recognition of his leadership and contributions to the party.
However, delegates opted for a change in leadership, allowing Danso to take over the regional chairmanship.
Ahead of the polls, the newly elected chairman had outlined his vision of leading the NDC through service, integrity and a strong commitment to the party’s grassroots.
He also pledged to strengthen the party’s organisational structures, foster unity and ensure greater cooperation among members across all 34 constituencies in the Greater Accra Region.
Danso maintained that building a united and well-organised regional party would be essential to the NDC’s preparations for the 2028 general elections.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore had earlier spoken out about his dissatisfaction with the John Dramani Mahama-led government, despite his financial contributions and investments towards the party’s electoral success.
According to Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, he has been neglected by the John Dramani Mahama-led government.
He revealed that none of his companies had been awarded a government contract since the NDC assumed office, highlighting that he had also not received any appointment in the Mahama administration.
Ashie Moore also spoke about his sacrifices for the NDC in a viral video clip from a recent NDC event.
According to Ashie Moore, no regional chairman in the history of the NDC had made the level of financial investment he had committed to the party in the Greater Accra Region.
He claimed, “The investment that I did for this party. Look at the money that I sank into this party in this region. No past or present regional chairman has made that investment before in the history of the NDC”.
“None of my companies has been given a government contract. I have loved the party. I have nowhere to go. I have exposed myself,” he stated.
He further disclosed that his political involvement has also affected his ability to access financial support from banks.
“When you go to the bank to take a loan, they will tell you that you are politically exposed. So, where do I get a loan?” he questioned.
“I don’t have any appointment in this government. I am not a presidential staffer. I have to go and work,” he said.
Ashie Moore expressed sadness over his situation, indicating that the lack of recognition for his contributions had left him frustrated.
