NPP's Chairman One Man Cleared for Ellembelle Re-election
Incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ellembelle Constituency Chairman Sampson Ndoli, popularly known as 'Chairman One Man,' has been officially cleared to seek re-election. Following a successful vetting process in Nkroful, Ndoli secured the number two ballot position for the upcoming constituency elections, launching a determined campaign to unite the party and capture the Ellembelle parliamentary seat for the first time in 2028.
What is the strategy behind Sampson Ndoli's re-election bid?
Ndoli is approaching this election with a business mindset, treating party organization as a strategic enterprise that requires the right team to deliver results. Since his initial victory in 2018, when he unseated the then Chairman Samuel Akainyah, Ndoli has focused on grassroots engagement and structural growth. Now, he is asking delegates to renew his mandate for another four years to steer the party toward a historic parliamentary victory.
His campaign is built on a clear mandate of reunification. Ndoli has pledged to bring all losing aspirants together under one umbrella, recognizing that a fragmented party cannot win new territories. This focus on unity is not just political rhetoric; it is a calculated strategy to flip a seat that has eluded the NPP since the constituency's creation.
How will the NPP capture the Ellembelle seat in 2028?
Winning in 2028 requires more than enthusiasm; it demands a highly competent executive team. Ndoli understands this, which is why he is presenting a unified, carefully selected slate of executives to the delegates. He is appealing for the election of this results-driven team to ensure seamless execution of the party's vision.
I believe in hardworking people, and I'm contesting this election with ten other hardworking aspirants, and I will appeal to the delegates to vote for Bernard Cobbinah as Constituency Organiser, Banabas Ewereko as Second Vice Chairman, Sobo Eshun as Communication Officer, Abdul Karim Robert as Nassara Coordinator, Hamza Pennah as Youth Organiser, John Ackah as First Vice Chairman, Evans Tanoel Ackah as Assistant Secretary, Martin Attiah as Secretary, Rahmata Salifu as Women's Organiser, and Philip Nda as Treasurer. These people were strategically selected, and I will appeal to the delegates to elect them.
Why is unity critical for the NPP in Ellembelle?
Ahead of the 2028 general elections, Ndoli has emphasized that internal cohesion is the only pathway to defeating the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Over recent weeks, he has led a 'Thank You Tour' on behalf of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia across the constituency, reinforcing the message that a divided house cannot recapture political power.
During this outreach, Ndoli backed his words with action, presenting donations to the Kangbumli Islamic Community and the Esiama Church of Pentecost. He called for prayers for Dr. Bawumia's protection and strength ahead of the 2028 polls, bridging political strategy with community solidarity.
Ndoli also took time to acknowledge the giants whose shoulders he stands on, commending former National Chairman and Ellembelle MP Freddie Blay, former Constituency Organiser Stephen Donkor, and former Chairman Samuel Akainyah (Chairman Atito) for their guidance.
With unity, we will win the Ellembelle seat in 2028 and also win the presidential election for Dr Bawumia, so please let us come together to work harder for Dr Bawumia and NPP to come to power in 2028.
