Joseph Ali Signaah, widely known as “Better Ghana”, has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nadowli-Kaleo Constituency.
The announcement, made in a statement to party members, sets the stage for a high-profile contest with fellow party member Sundong Malik, as the NDC prepares for its 2026 internal elections.
Signaah, who has served the party in several grassroots roles—including Branch, Ward, and Constituency Youth Organiser—says he is responding to calls from the rank and file to seek higher office.
Most recently, he served as the Upper West Regional Coordinator for the Traders and Artisans Network (TAN) during the 2024 general elections, where he played a key role in mobilising traders and artisans in support of the NDC’s campaign.
In his declaration, Signaah outlined a three-point vision for his tenure if elected. On unity, he pledged to bridge gaps between youth, elders, and all wings of the party to ensure a single, cohesive voice.
On grassroots empowerment, he promised to ensure that branch executives—who he describes as the “engine room” of the party—are recognised, supported, and never forgotten.�
And on electoral success, he committed to working collectively to support President John Dramani Mahama’s government and to retain the Nadowli-Kaleo Parliamentary seat for the NDC in 2028.
“I am not here to promise miracles, but to offer unwavering service,” Signaah said. “I need your support, your prayers, and your votes.”�
Party sources describe the upcoming contest between Signaah and Malik as a battle between two strong organisational minds within the constituency, with both candidates respected for their grassroots work and leadership.
The NDC has released its timetable for 2026 internal elections, with constituency-level nominations set to open on 15 September and elections scheduled for 24–25 October 2026.
Signaah’s declaration adds to a growing list of aspirants across the country seeking various constituency executive positions ahead of the October polls.
