The Chairman of the NDC Island–City Branch in Kumasi, Solomon Jabari, has officially declared his intention to contest the Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency Chairmanship of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the lead-up to the 2026 elections. The declaration was made on Sunday, December 28, at his residence at Ahenema Kokobeng, Island City, during the NDC Island–City end-of-year party, which brought together party faithful, supporters, and key regional figures.

The well-attended event was graced by notable dignitaries, including the Deputy Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC, Baah Acheamfour, the Deputy Youth Organizer and Ashanti Regional National Service Secretariat (NSS) Director, Emmanuel Reagan Fynn, alongside other party executives and stakeholders.

The celebration was marked by lively dancing, sumptuous meals, and a warm atmosphere of camaraderie. As part of the event, Mr. Jabari presented gifts to individuals across the various branches who have worked tirelessly, contributed significantly, or made notable sacrifices for the party throughout their lives, recognizing their dedication and commitment.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Jabari emphasized the significant role the NDC has played in improving the lives of its members and supporters, noting that the next critical step is for party members to come together as a united family and collectively benefit from the party’s efforts.

“My decision to contest the Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency Chairmanship is driven by a strong desire to restore peace, unity, and direction within the constituency,” Mr. Jabari stated. “The lack of cohesion has negatively affected the progress and effectiveness of the party in Atwima Kwanwoma, and it is time for a leader who can bridge the gaps, reconcile differences, and unite all factions under a common purpose.”

Reflecting on the 2024 general elections, Mr. Jabari noted that internal divisions among constituency executives weakened the party’s efforts and compromised its potential. He reiterated that his vision is to foster an environment of inclusiveness, ensuring that all party members feel connected to both governance and the party’s achievements.

Shortly after the celebrations, he indicated plans to engage all Branch Chairmen and Coordinators across the constituency to better understand their challenges and assess the state of the NDC in Atwima Kwanwoma.

Mr. Jabari also paid special tribute to women in the constituency, acknowledging their tireless contributions during election periods, which he described as even more demanding than those of their male counterparts. He stressed the importance of recognizing and rewarding the dedication and sacrifices of women within the party.

The declaration was warmly welcomed by all constituency executives, who expressed their full support for Mr. Jabari and pledged to vote for him during the upcoming election. Their endorsement underscores the growing confidence in his leadership and vision for the constituency.

In conclusion, he appealed to party members and supporters to remain calm, disciplined, and law-abiding, urging them to respect the NDC’s rules and regulations. He reminded them that the campaign season has not yet officially begun and encouraged patience until nominations are formally opened.

Mr. Jabari’s message, rooted in unity, peace, and inclusiveness, resonated strongly with attendees, signaling widespread support for a more united and effective NDC Atwima Kwanwoma Constituency.
