NDC National Appointments: Upper East Region gets 5 reps out of 101 appointment so far—members frown

Some members of the Upper East Region of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have voiced their discontentment following the recent disclosure that the region has received a mere 5 out of 101 national appointments. Apexnewsgh.com reported

In August 2023, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the opposition party, made significant appointments in preparation for the upcoming 2024 general election. Notably, individuals from the Upper East Region were included in these appointments.

However, questions have been raised regarding the limited number of individuals from the Upper East Region appointed by the NDC. Out of the 101 appointments made by the party thus far, only five individuals from the region have been appointed. These individuals include Hon. Cletus Avoka, John Tia, Clement Bugase, Justin Pwavra, and Abraham Amaliba.

Should the NDC be treating its own party members in the Upper East Region in this manner, especially after their incredible achievement of capturing 14 out of 15 parliamentary seats? Will this be indicative of how the NDC plans to govern the Upper East Region if elected in 2024? It is concerning that the party leadership has not addressed this regrettable situation. These are the questions being asked by members of the party when Apexnewsgh.com interviewed them on the matter.

The Upper East Region has always been considered the stronghold of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ghana’s democratic history. However, it is unfortunate that their exceptional electoral performance has not been reflected in appointments within the party.

This worrying situation is closely being observed by residents of the region.

However, this platform is learning that there will be further appointments by the party. Appointed positions so far are as follows:

Vice chairman, National Treasure, Deputy Treasurer, NEC Appointment, Director of Administration, Director of International Relations and Deputy, Director of Elections IT and Deputies, Director of Legal and Deputies, Director of Research and Deputies, Director of Special Duties and Deputies, Director of conflict Resolution, Director of Inter party/ CSO Relations and Deputy, Director of Welfare and Deputy, Director of Logistics/ Protocol and Deputies, Council of Elders, Political Committee and Disciplinary Committee

Please find below the national party appointments made on August 24 and 28.
