Manchester: The Greater Manchester Branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the United Kingdom has elected new executives to steer the affairs of the branch and strengthen its activities for the next four years. The elections, held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, brought together members of the branch to exercise their democratic rights and elect officers to lead the branch for the new term.
According to Ghana Web, the newly elected executives include Francis Aweso as Chairman, Sam-Wisdoms Amenyenu as Secretary, Crosby Tagoe as Organiser, Ahmed Asiedu as Communications Officer, Kofi Dadzie as Treasurer, Dinah Tetteh as Women's Organiser, Moses Nutekpor as Executive Member, and Christian Aboagye as Welfare Officer.
Speaking after the elections, the newly elected Chairman, Mr. Francis Aweso, expressed his appreciation to members for the confidence reposed in the new leadership. He also acknowledged the contributions of the outgoing executives and called on all members to work together to build a stronger and more united branch. He stated that the new administration would focus on membership mobilisation, regular branch activities, including welfare, effective communication, fundraising, and greater participation in the NDC UK Chapter at large.
Mr. Aweso noted that the success of the new executive team would depend on the active participation and support of all members to make the branch more vibrant and responsive to the needs of its members.
