Ataba Philemond Atiah, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Constituency Organizer for Bongo, has declared his intention to contest for the position of Constituency Chairman. His decision is driven by years of grassroots mobilisation, party organisation, and service to the people of Bongo. Atiah's political journey began in 2012 as the Tertiary Education Institution Network (TEIN) Organizer at Gbewaa College of Education.
Atiah has held various positions within the NDC, including Branch Youth Organizer from 2014 to 2018, Constituency Deputy Organizer from 2018 to 2022, and Constituency Organizer since 2022. Additionally, he has served as an Assemblyman since 2015, gaining valuable experience in local governance. These roles have equipped him with a deep understanding of the party's structures and the needs of its grassroots supporters.
Atiah's motivation for seeking the chairmanship is rooted in his experience at the branch and constituency levels, which he believes has prepared him for greater responsibility. He is not new to the grounds, having worked tirelessly to mobilise people and support the party, often without public recognition. His commitment to the NDC has remained strong even during challenging periods.
If given the opportunity to lead, Atiah plans to focus on recognising the contributions of branch-level workers, listening to different voices, and strengthening party structures. He aims to ensure that grassroots supporters remain valued beyond electoral victories. His vision is to build on his existing experience and drive the party forward.
Atiah's decision to contest for the chairmanship is a continuation of his longstanding service to the party rather than a departure from his political journey. He has worked at the grassroots level, mobilising party supporters, strengthening structures, and addressing challenges within communities. His experience has taken him from community to community, where he has worked selflessly.
Atiah's politics has been characterised by his commitment to working at the grassroots level, often without seeking public recognition. He has been instrumental in mobilising people and supporting the party, even during uncertain times. His dedication to the NDC is unwavering, and he is poised to take on greater responsibility.
Atiah's bid for the Constituency Chairman position has significant implications for the NDC in Bongo. His experience, vision, and commitment to the party make him a strong contender.
