A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Upper East Region, Dr. Samuel Akonga, has formally announced his intention to contest for the position of Regional Communications Director as the party undergoes restructuring.
Speaking on A1 Radio, Dr. Akonga said that having served the NPP for several years, he believes his experience and skills place him in a strong position to lead the communications wing in the region.
“As a passionate communicator of the NPP over the years, I believe I have gained the experience and skills to leverage opportunities, disseminate the party’s information, and communicate its policies effectively to the grassroots, to residents of the Upper East Region, and beyond.”
He explained that his passion for effective political communication is driven by the conviction that clear dissemination of information and policies to the grassroots and wider public is crucial to the party’s electoral success.
“Information dissemination is very key to a party winning an election. If the electorate does not buy into your message, it will not help your cause or your fortunes.”
According to him, the ability to connect the electorate with the party’s message is fundamental to shaping political outcomes. He indicated that his years of service under various communications directors have equipped him with valuable insights into leadership, which he intends to blend with his own style to enhance the NPP’s messaging strategy in the region.
“I have worked under the tutelage of several directors, and having learned from their leadership styles, I believe that by blending those experiences with my own, I am well positioned to serve the communications wing of the party.”
Previously, the position of Regional Communications Director was by appointment, but with the new arrangements requiring elections, Dr. Akonga has put himself forward as a candidate.
He expressed confidence that his track record and commitment to the party will resonate with delegates and members as the NPP prepares to strengthen its communication structures ahead of future elections.
