Daniel Niibi Afotey Odai has been elected Deputy Regional Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Greater Accra Region after narrowly defeating three other contenders in the party’s regional executive elections.
Niibi secured 45 votes in the election held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, edging his closest challenger, Atsu Eric Afeme, who polled 44 votes.
Jones Klutse obtained 32 votes, while Rashid Isah secured eight.
The result gives Niibi a new role in the party’s regional youth leadership as the NDC continues its internal reorganisation ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Niibi’s political career began at the branch level. He served for eight years as Deputy Youth Organiser for the Krowor Constituency, where he was involved in youth mobilisation and organising party structures.
He holds a degree in Political Science from the University of Ghana and is a Chartered Manager.
He is also the District Director of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in Krowor, where his work involves connecting young people to employment, skills development and other opportunities.
Outside politics and public service, Niibi manages Nungua Royals FC and works as a media consultant with the Multimedia Group.
Niibi campaigned under the message, “Youth in Politics: From Spectators to Decision Makers”.
His proposed agenda included establishing a functional Greater Accra Youth Secretariat, creating a database of young party members across the region’s 34 constituencies and setting up a 24-hour youth hotline.
He also proposed appointing a youth desk officer in every constituency and introducing a welfare scheme for young party members.
The NDC’s regional executive elections form part of the party’s internal reorganisation, with the outcome expected to shape its leadership structures and mobilisation efforts across the country.
As Deputy Regional Youth Organiser, Niibi will work with the regional leadership on youth mobilisation and strengthening the party’s structures in Greater Accra.
