David Selassie Anthony declares bid for NDC Deputy National Organiser

David Selassie Anthony, popularly known as "Dee Mayor," has officially announced his intention to contest the position of Deputy National Organiser for the National Democratic Congress (NDC). His campaign is centered on revitalizing the party's grassroots base and enhancing the welfare of local organizers to ensure a formidable challenge in the 2028 general elections. The announcement follows what he describes as extensive consultations with party stakeholders and supporters across all 16 regions of Ghana.

Anthony’s platform emphasizes the need for a more robust connection between national leadership and the party's local structures. He argues that the NDC's true strength lies within its constituencies and has pledged to make the roles of regional and constituency organizers more functional with clearly defined responsibilities. By prioritizing organizer welfare and improving coordination, Anthony aims to galvanize supporters and increase participation at the community level. He stressed that maintaining open communication channels is essential for the party to build a more inclusive and effective political machine.

A building engineer, farmer, and philanthropist, David Selassie Anthony brings a diverse professional background to his political ambitions. Within the NDC, he has served in various capacities, including as a Branch Communications Officer and a member of the National Communications Team. He is also the founder of the De Mayor Foundation, a humanitarian organization. This combination of professional expertise and long-standing party involvement is presented as a key asset in his bid to coordinate the party's organizational efforts.

As the internal election cycle approaches, Anthony has indicated that he will release a more detailed manifesto outlining specific commitments to political mobilization in the coming weeks. His entry into the race adds momentum to the NDC’s internal reorganization efforts as it prepares for the next general election cycle. He remains committed to fostering a grassroots-driven strategy that empowers local leaders to take ownership of the party's success at the polling station level.
