Western North NDC Chairman, H.E. Michael Aidoo, popularly known as Chairman Big Aidoo, has paid the filing fees for all current constituency executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Western North Region.
The gesture is being viewed as a major show of support for the party’s grassroots leadership as the NDC prepares for its internal constituency elections.
Chairman Big Aidoo, who is the Western North Regional Chairman of the NDC, is sponsoring the filing fees of the current constituency executives across the region, potentially easing the financial burden associated with the nomination process.
The intervention covers all current NDC constituency executives in the Western North Region, according to the announcement.
Boost for grassroots leadership
The payment is expected to provide financial relief to the executives and enable them to participate fully in the internal electoral process without having to personally bear the cost of their filing fees.
Constituency executives play a central role in the organisation and mobilisation of the NDC at the grassroots level. They coordinate party activities within their respective constituencies, mobilise members and supporters, and help implement decisions and programmes of the party’s regional and national leadership.
The gesture by Chairman Big Aidoo is therefore significant, particularly as the party moves into a period of internal elections and reorganisation.
Commitment to party unity
Beyond the financial support, the initiative could be interpreted as an effort to strengthen the relationship between the regional leadership and constituency executives.
By extending the support to executives across all constituencies in the Western North Region, Chairman Big Aidoo has demonstrated an approach that seeks to benefit the party’s grassroots structures broadly.
The payment could also contribute to a smooth nomination process by ensuring that incumbent executives who wish to seek another term are not prevented from filing their nominations because of financial constraints.
‘Support for the grassroots’
The development is likely to attract attention among NDC members and supporters in the region, particularly those following the party’s preparations for its upcoming internal elections.
Chairman Big Aidoo’s intervention reinforces the importance of resourcing and motivating grassroots executives, who remain critical to the party’s organisational strength and electoral mobilisation.
The announcement, which features the Regional Chairman’s photograph, states that he “pays filing fees for all current constituency executives” in all constituencies in the Western North Region.
For the beneficiaries, the gesture represents more than the payment of a statutory requirement; it is also an indication of support from the regional leadership as the executives prepare to renew their mandates or participate in the party’s internal democratic process.
The initiative is expected to further strengthen the NDC’s constituency structures in the Western North Region and contribute to a more organised and inclusive internal electoral process.
