Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore has lost his bid for another term as Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), following his defeat by former Krowor Constituency Chairman Benjamin Danso.
Mr Danso emerged victorious in Saturday’s election with 515 votes, against 295 secured by the incumbent.
The other contestants, Michael Tetteh Kwetey and Ibrahim Jajah, received 161 and 63 votes respectively.
The result comes after Mr Ashie Moore publicly expressed confidence in his chances of retaining the position, pointing to what he described as the collective efforts of party members across Greater Accra.
He had also indicated his willingness to continue leading the regional party into the 2028 general elections, subject to the decision of delegates.
Speaking before the election, Mr Ashie Moore maintained that the party’s grassroots members deserved recognition for their contribution to its electoral campaigns.
The Greater Accra contest is part of the NDC’s four-year regional executive election cycle, which follows the party’s branch and constituency-level elections.
The party will proceed to its National Youth and Women’s Conference on December 12 before holding its National Delegates Congress on December 19, 2026.
More than 9,000 delegates are expected to participate in the national executive elections.
