Newly-elected Atwima Kwanwoma NDC chairman pledges unity, grassroots mobilisation

Solomon Reuben Jabari, the Ahenema Kokoben-Island City Branch Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been elected the party’s new Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency Chairman.

He defeated incumbent Simon Aloonga in the constituency’s executive elections held on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Jabari secured 1,319 votes against Aloonga’s 263, according to the results provided in a contest that has ushered in a new leadership team to steer the party’s affairs in the constituency.

Following his victory, the newly elected chairman pledged to unite the party’s leadership, energise the grassroots and strengthen internal cooperation as the NDC prepares for the 2028 general elections.

Addressing the media immediately after the electoral process, Jabari said unity had been the central message of his campaign and expressed confidence that a united constituency would be better positioned to challenge the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the next general elections.

“Unity is the key. That was my campaign message, and the delegates have responded accordingly,” he stated.

He further assured party members that his administration would prioritise collective effort, hard work and grassroots mobilisation, with the objective of making Atwima Kwanwoma a competitive battleground in 2028.

“I am promising the Atwima Kwanwoma NDC that in 2028,we will work hard together. We will call for unity, and we will call for hard work. In 2028,we will emerge victorious,” Jabari said.

He also declared his intention to mount a vigorous challenge against the NPP under his chairmanship, saying he wanted the opposition party to feel the full impact of an energised and well-organised NDC in the constituency.

Jabari will work with a newly elected constituency executive team comprising Obiri Yeboa as Vice Chairman; Luqman Bin Wise Mumuni as Secretary; and Appiah Augustine as Deputy Secretary.

Other elected officers include John Atumtia Abubakari as Organiser, Appiah Isaac as Deputy Organiser, Isaac Paintsil as Youth Organiser and Rosemar Adjei as Deputy Youth Organiser.

Nana Adwoa Barikisu Musa was elected Women Organiser, with Ellen Owusu serving as Deputy Women Organiser.

Osman Muhammed will coordinate the Zongo Caucus, while Daniel Basepwa and Desmond Aziwini will serve as Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer, respectively.

Francis Kwame Agyekum was elected Communication Officer, with Blessing Nti Fourdjour as Deputy Communication Officer.

The wider executive structure also includes eight additional members and other youth organisers, according to the information provided.

Jabari’s election places renewed attention on the NDC’s organisational strategy in Atwima Kwanwoma, where the party faces the task of consolidating its grassroots base, resolving internal differences and building a coordinated campaign ahead of the next general elections.

His pledge for unity will be particularly significant as the new administration seeks to bring together supporters of the various candidates following the competitive internal contest.

The coming months will test the new leadership’s ability to translate its campaign promises into practical party organisation, stronger branch-level engagement, and sustained mobilisation.

For Jabari, the immediate challenge is to unite the constituency behind a common agenda while working with the newly elected executives to pursue the party.
