Comrade Adnan M. Kofi Adams is seeking to bring nearly two decades of media experience and grassroots political mobilisation to the national leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), with a pledge to strengthen the party’s structures, modernise its communication strategy and improve internal coordination.
He formally submitted his nomination forms, political résumé and supporting documents to the NDC National Elections Committee on November 7, 2026, declaring his intention to contest for a position on the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
Mr Adams, a veteran media personality and political organiser, says his more than 18 years of active involvement in the party have given him a practical understanding of its organisational needs and the challenges facing its grassroots structures.
His political journey within the NDC began in 2007 when he served as Branch Propaganda Secretary. He became Branch Secretary in 2009 and subsequently served as Constituency Deputy Communications Officer from 2014 to 2018. He also served on the party’s National Communications Team as an advocate between 2008 and 2017.
At the centre of his proposed agenda is grassroots empowerment, with a focus on strengthening branch-level structures through adequate resources, continuous political education and improved communication between local executives and national leadership.
He is also advocating a more proactive national communications strategy that harnesses modern media platforms, data-driven messaging and strategic public relations to communicate the party’s policies, respond to opposition narratives and protect its public image.
On party administration, Mr Adams is proposing stronger institutional discipline, effective conflict-resolution mechanisms and improved coordination among the party’s various organs, including the Youth, Women, Zongo Caucus and External Branches.
His vision also places emphasis on policy advocacy, research and youth engagement. He wants the party to draw on economic data, investigative research and international diplomacy frameworks to develop policy alternatives that respond to the concerns of young voters, working-class Ghanaians and civil society organisations.
Explaining his motivation for the contest, Mr Adams said his years of service at the grassroots level had provided him with firsthand experience of the commitment and resilience required to sustain the party’s organisational strength.
“It is with profound humility, unyielding loyalty, and a strong sense of revolutionary duty that I step forward to serve on the National Executive Committee,” he stated.
He said he intends to contribute to building a technologically responsive and grassroots-centred NDC that connects national strategic communication with effective mobilisation at the branch level.
Mr Adams reaffirmed his commitment to the NDC’s social democratic principles and appealed to delegates, party leaders and members across the country and the external branches to support his candidature.
His bid places the spotlight on the contribution that experienced party communicators and grassroots organisers can make to strengthening internal party structures, improving political engagement and preparing the NDC for future electoral contests.
