National Democratic Congress (NDC) Western Regional chairman aspirant, George Kofi Arthur, is optimistic that he will clinch victory in Saturday’s regional executive elections of the party.
The three-term Member of Parliament (MP) for Amenfi Central—who served from January 2005 to January 2017—says he is poised to transform the party’s organisational structures in the region.
Speaking to journalists, Mr. Arthur mentioned that he would be able to achieve his vision through unity, discipline, technology, and grassroots empowerment.
He stated that his aim is to build a united, inclusive, accountable, and sustainable party organisation capable of delivering collective political success.
According to him, the Western Regional NDC requires leadership that can improve the party’s capacity to respond to the needs of its members.
He also stressed the importance of strengthening grassroots structures through leadership training, mentorship, administrative development, and capacity-building programmes for constituency and branch executives.
Additionally, he highlighted the planned establishment of a Regional Research and Policy Unit, as well as the use of digital systems to improve membership administration.
“I will take the party from addition to multiplication through unity, inclusion, and collective progress,” Mr. Arthur said, emphasising his broader ambition to build an NDC organisation in the Western Region that moves beyond mere electoral mobilisation toward sustained institutional development.
Mr. Arthur’s political career reached a significant milestone in 2005 when he entered Parliament as the MP for Amenfi Central, representing the constituency for three consecutive terms in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Parliaments of the Fourth Republic.
During his parliamentary service, he chaired Parliament’s Select Committee on Defence and Interior, which dealt with matters relating to national security, defense policy, internal security, and oversight of the relevant ministries and agencies.
