On December 17, 2022, the NDC will have its national congress to choose national executives.
"I took part in the resistance to our nation's military rule before entering Parliament. I served as various committee chairs over my twelve years there.
By serving as the Deputy Minister in charge of Agriculture, I gained experience in executive positions. I have held many positions, including board chairman.
I am convinced that my experience will help me lead my party well and serve as an example for my members, he continued.
Elections at the constituency level will take place on October 22 and 23, regional elections will be held on November 12 and 13, and the national congress will be held on December 17, according to the NDC.
