The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that nominations for its 2026 Constituency Executive Elections will officially open on Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
The National Secretariat, in a notice to constituencies and party members, said the opening of nominations marks the next stage in the party’s internal electoral process, in line with the general timetable previously released.
Members seeking to contest the various Constituency Executive positions have been encouraged to take advantage of the nomination period and complete the process within the prescribed timeframe.
According to the notice, all payments for nomination forms and filing fees must be made strictly through the party’s online portal using mobile money across all networks.
Aspirants, proposers, seconders and endorsers are required to be members in good standing and must have fully paid their membership dues for the past four years.
Members with outstanding dues have also been directed to settle their arrears through the party’s designated payment channels before participating in the process.
Meanwhile, the party has officially opened campaigning for aspirants contesting its 2026 internal elections at the constituency, regional and national levels.
The Secretariat has directed party officials, including regional and constituency officers as well as ward coordinators, to allow campaign activities by eligible aspirants within their respective jurisdictions.
However, the party has drawn a clear line between internal executive contests and parliamentary ambitions.
It said the campaign window does not apply to persons pursuing or intending to pursue parliamentary ambitions, including sitting Members of Parliament and individuals currently considering or publicly expressing an intention to contest parliamentary elections.
Such persons have been barred from campaigning under the newly opened window, with the Secretariat warning that violations will be treated seriously and dealt with in accordance with the party’s rules and regulations.
The National Secretariat has urged constituencies, aspirants and members to conduct themselves with discipline and respect for the party’s democratic values throughout the electoral process.
It also called for a transparent, peaceful and orderly process as the party begins preparations for the constituency-level elections.
