Comrade Adnan M. Kofi Adams, a long-serving member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has officially filed his nomination to contest for a seat on the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), pledging to strengthen grassroots mobilisation, improve the party’s communication machinery and promote organisational discipline.
Mr. Adams submitted his nomination forms, political résumé and other relevant credentials to the National Elections Committee at the party’s national headquarters, the J.J. Rawlings House, accompanied by supporters, media professionals and grassroots organisers.
His decision to contest for the national executive position, according to his campaign, is aimed at bridging the gap between the party’s national communication strategy and mobilisation at the branch and constituency levels.
Speaking to journalists after submitting his nomination, Mr. Adams said his experience within the party had equipped him with the understanding needed to contribute meaningfully to its national organisational development.
“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 said.

“Having served from the branch level up, I understand the resilience of our grassroots and the transformative power of our party’s social democratic ideology. My mission is to build a robust, technologically responsive, and grassroots-centred NDC that bridges national strategic communications with branch-level mobilisation,” he added.
Mr. Adams’ political career within the NDC spans more than 18 years, beginning in 2007 when he served as a Branch Propaganda Secretary before becoming Branch Secretary in 2009.
He subsequently served as Constituency Deputy Communications Officer between 2014 and 2018 and was also a member of the NDC National Communications Team from 2008 to 2017.
Beyond his political involvement, he is a media proprietor and executive manager, with an academic background in diplomacy and international law.
He believes his professional and political experience would provide the NEC with the necessary expertise to strengthen the party’s public communication, defend its image and promote policy-oriented political engagement.
Outlining his vision, Mr. Adams said his campaign was anchored on grassroots empowerment, proactive media engagement, institutional discipline and policy research.
He argued that the party needed to strengthen its communication structures to effectively respond to opposition criticism while ensuring that its achievements and policies were properly communicated to the public.
“Our campaign is anchored on four non-negotiable pillars designed to secure decisive electoral victory: grassroots empowerment, media dominance through proactive communications, institutional discipline, and data-backed policy research,” he stated.
He stressed the need to equip branch and constituency executives with the resources, modern communication tools, and political education required to improve their effectiveness.
Mr. Adams also called for stronger internal dispute-resolution mechanisms to promote unity among the party’s various structures, including the Youth Wing, Women’s Wing, Zongo Caucus and external branches.
On policy development, he said the party must translate economic data and international relations expertise into practical proposals capable of addressing the concerns of young people, working-class families and civil society organisations.
He further pledged to promote the use of digital media technologies and data-driven communication to project the NDC’s policies and counter what he considers opposition propaganda.
Reaffirming his commitment to the party’s social democratic ideals, Mr. Adams urged delegates and party stakeholders to support a leadership approach based on integrity, accessibility and organisational excellence.
“I pledge my uncompromising loyalty to the social democratic principles of the NDC. I call on all delegates, party leaders, and comrades nationwide and in our external branches to unite behind a vision centred on integrity, accessible leadership, and organisational excellence,” he said.
Following the submission of his nomination, Mr. Adams is expected to embark on a nationwide constituency tour to engage delegates and other campaign stakeholders ahead of the party’s national congress.
