Adnan Kofi Adams files nomination in NDC NEC race, outlines grassroots agenda Adnan Kofi Adams has filed his nomination to contest a position on the NDC's NEC A long-serving member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Adnan M. Kofi Adams, has filed his nomination to contest a position on the party's National Executive Committee (NEC), outlining an agenda focused on grassroots mobilisation, strategic communication and institutional strengthening. Adams submitted his completed nomination forms, political résumé and supporting credentials to the party's National Elections Committee at its national headquarters, the J.J. Rawlings House, accompanied by party supporters, media professionals and grassroots organisers. Speaking to journalists after submitting his nomination, he said his ambition was to strengthen the party's organisational structures by improving communication between the national leadership and its grassroots membership. He said his experience at various levels of the party had given him an understanding of the challenges facing branch executives and the need to equip them with the resources and tools required to mobilise effectively. "It is with profound humility, loyalty and a strong sense of responsibility that I step forward to serve on the National Executive Committee. Having served from the branch level, I understand the resilience of our grassroots and the importance of our party's social democratic ideology," he said. Adams said his vision was to build a technologically responsive and grassroots-oriented NDC capable of linking national communication strategies with effective mobilisation at the branch level. Adams' political involvement in the NDC spans more than 18 years, during which he has served in various capacities within the party. He began his political career as a Branch Propaganda Secretary in 2007 before becoming Branch Secretary in 2009. He subsequently served as Constituency Deputy Communications Officer from 2014 to 2018 and was also associated with the NDC National Communications Team between 2008 and 2017. Adnan Kofi Adams has filed his nomination to contest a position on the NDC's National Executive Committee (NEC) Beyond his political involvement, Adams is a media proprietor and executive manager, with an academic background in diplomacy and international law. He believes his experience in party organisation and media management would contribute to strengthening the NDC's communication structures and its engagement with the electorate. Outlining his proposed priorities, Adams identified four key areas he intends to pursue if elected to the National Executive Committee. The first is \\grassroots empowerment and capacity building\\, which he said would involve directing greater attention and resources towards branch and constituency structures while improving communication between local executives and the national leadership. The second is \\strategic media engagement\\, with an emphasis on digital communication technologies, data-driven messaging and public relations to communicate the party's policies and achievements while responding effectively to opposition narratives. On institutional discipline and party unity, the third pillar of his agenda, Adams proposed strengthening internal dispute-resolution mechanisms and promoting cooperation among the party's auxiliary organisations, including the Youth Wing, Women's Wing, Zongo Caucus and external branches. His fourth priority is \\policy research and youth engagement\\, which he said would involve translating economic data and international relations research into policy proposals capable of addressing the concerns of young people, working-class families and civil society organisations. Adams said effective communication, organisational discipline and sustained grassroots engagement were essential to strengthening the party's electoral prospects. He also stressed the need to equip branch officers with modern communication tools and political education to enable them to communicate the party's policies more effectively. As the NDC prepares for its next national congress, Adams appealed to delegates, party leaders and members to support his candidature, pledging to uphold the party's social democratic principles. "I pledge my uncompromising loyalty to the social democratic principles of the NDC. I call on all delegates, party leaders and comrades nationwide, including those in our external branches, to unite behind a vision centred on integrity, accessible leadership and organisational excellence," he said. His candidature adds to the contest for positions on the party's National Executive Committee, where aspirants are expected to present their credentials and policy proposals to delegates ahead of the national congress.
