PHILIP Sosi has made history in the Ayawaso East Constituency of the Greater Accra Region after winning the National Democratic Congress (NDC) chairmanship election, becoming the first Christian to occupy the position in the constituency since the beginning of the Fourth Republic.
Mr. Sosi, a former Roman Branch ‘B’ Chairman and former Deputy Treasurer, secured 496 votes to defeat Issah Ali, who obtained 278 votes, and Wahab Amui Futa, who polled 228 votes.
His victory emerged from the NDC’s constituency executive elections held on October 24 and 25, 2026, across the country, as the party renewed its leadership structures ahead of the next four years.
The outcome marks a significant moment for the constituency, with Mr. Sosi now expected to lead efforts to strengthen party unity, deepen grassroots engagement and mobilise supporters for the NDC’s future political activities.
The elections also produced a new team of constituency executives who will work together to advance the party’s interests and consolidate its support base.

Their success will depend on their ability to unite members, strengthen the party’s grassroots structures and prepare the constituency for the political challenges ahead.
