Opong-Fosu’s 3Vs agenda targets NDC grassroots empowerment

Aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Dr. Akwasi Opong-Fosu, will begin a nationwide campaign tour in the Volta Region on Monday, November 2, 2026

The tour aims to engage party stakeholders, listen to their concerns and share his vision of building a stronger, more inclusive NDC ahead of the 2028 general elections.

In a press release issued on Thursday, October 29, 2026, the campaign team said the decision to begin the tour in the Volta Region recognizes the region’s “historic loyalty, sacrifices and immense contributions to the growth and electoral successes of the NDC.”

The team also acknowledged the region’s “strategic importance to the party’s future,” explaining that the visit would provide an opportunity to engage party members on their concerns and the direction of the party.

The campaign, being held under the slogan “Consolidating the Gains,” seeks to protect the achievements and legacy of President John Dramani Mahama while positioning the NDC to retain power in 2028 and beyond.

According to the statement, the tour will bring together regional and constituency executives, delegates, branch executives, party elders, cadres, former and current Members of Parliament, former and current government appointees, and other key party stakeholders.

The campaign team said the engagements were intended to “build consensus around a stronger, more united and inclusive NDC,” with grassroots participation forming a central part of the proposed leadership agenda.

A major component of Dr. Opong-Fosu’s campaign is the 3Vs agenda — Votes, Voice and Viability — which seeks to strengthen grassroots participation and ensure that party members are actively involved in the party’s development.

The statement said the agenda would ensure that grassroots members are “recognised, heard and economically empowered.”

The campaign team believes the approach will contribute to building an inclusive party in which grassroots members have a meaningful role in shaping its future.

The team is also presenting Dr. Opong-Fosu’s political and administrative experience as an important consideration in his bid for the national chairmanship.

Describing him as a founding member of the NDC, the statement noted that he had served as a Member of Parliament, Minister of State and public administrator.

It added that he understands the party’s foundations, grassroots structures and the demands of political leadership.

“His proven experience, institutional knowledge and commitment to party unity” make him the team’s preferred candidate to lead the party, the statement said.
