Obuobia: I won’t contest NDC women’s organiser position
The former broadcaster and deputy director of communications of the NDC says she has no intentions to contest as women's organiser of the party
Obuobia Darko-Opoku, a deputy director of communications of the National Democratic Congress, has refuted claims suggesting she will contest as women’s organiser of the major opposition party.
The former Weija-Gbawe NDC parliamentary candidate took to Facebook to dispel the rumours.
“I have become aware of artworks designed in my name and being circulated to suggest that I intend to contest for the position of National Women’s Organiser of our great party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“While I thank any well-meaning person(s) involved in that activity, I want to state that I do not have any intention of, neither have I considered, contesting for the position of National Women’s Organiser or any other National Executive position,” Darko-Opoku said.
According to her, she is fully committed to championing the activities of the NDC in its next campaign ahead of the 2024 elections.

I am an appointed Deputy Director of Communications of the NDC. Thanks to that position and opportunity, I worked with other colleagues and a team of young men and women who volunteered and led a Digital and Street Campaign for the John Mahama 2020 Campaign. We are proud, very proud, of our contribution to the communications efforts of the Campaign.
As a loyal and committed member of the NDC, I want to assure all party members and my well-wishers that Obuobia Darko-Opoku will continue to work very hard for our party, including leading volunteer teams in our next campaign, if God gives us life and the strength. I don’t have to be an elected party executive to do that.
