Wa Central NDC Communication Officer-elect calls for unity after constituency polls
Newly elected National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communication Officer for Wa Central, Mr. Osman Tiani Umar, has urged party members to set aside their differences and unite ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr Umar, who won the position with 1,142 votes in the constituency executive elections held over the weekend, described his victory as humbling. Although he said he had been confident of winning, he acknowledged the strong interest in the contest.
He said the communication officer role had attracted particular attention because it serves as the party’s public voice, with exchanges on social media further raising the profile of the race.
Mr Umar said his immediate priority was to reconcile members who had been aggrieved during the contest, including his main contender, Abubakari Nurideen. He pledged to bring members together, strengthen public engagement and promote disciplined communication in support of the NDC and its eventual parliamentary candidate.
Alhaj Issahaku Sidik Famina retained the constituency chairmanship with 717 votes, while Salifu Tamaah Abu won the secretary position with 958 votes. Issah Adnan was elected organiser with 1,018 votes, and Ahmed Abubakari secured the deputy organiser role with 1,088 votes.
Mr Famina urged the newly elected executives to address concerns raised by delegates and appealed to unsuccessful candidates to support the winners with their experience and knowledge.
Other elected executives are Treasurer Abubakar Issah, who received 767 votes; Vice Chairman James Kwame Sohimwinye, 573; Deputy Treasurer Abdulai Haruna, 681; Deputy Secretary Majeed Sidik, 675; Deputy Communication Officer Yakubu Mohammed, 794; and Zongo Caucus Coordinator Eliasu Abdulai, 674.
