Sylvester Akolgenunsi Apunzoe has declared his intention to contest for Executive Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Bolga Central Constituency. This comes four years after he unsuccessfully contested the same position in 2022, losing by 15 votes. Apunzoe's campaign focuses on grassroots mobilisation, party unity, teamwork, and greater participation of members in constituency activities.

Apunzoe's involvement with the NDC dates back to 2016 when, as a student at Kusanaba Senior High School, he participated in activities to mobilise students ahead of that year's general election. In 2020, he donated campaign banners to his branch and participated in campaign activities, serving as a polling station agent. He later served as Finance Officer of the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) of the NDC at Sunyani Technical University during the 2021/2022 academic year.

After his unsuccessful 2022 contest, Apunzoe remained active in the party, serving on his ward campaign team and as a polling agent during the 2024 general election. He has also held positions within BONABOTO, including President of the association at Sunyani Technical University and National Students Wing President from December 2023 to March 2026. These experiences have strengthened his ability to work with people and organise at the grassroots.

Apunzoe believes that his experience in different leadership positions has prepared him to collaborate with fellow executives to make the party at every branch united and peaceful. If elected, he plans to work with other constituency executives to strengthen mobilisation across branches and address divisions among party members. His campaign message is "Leadership with Integrity and Purpose: Your Voice, My Action."

Apunzoe's decision to contest the position again is seen as a boost to the NDC in the Bolga Central Constituency. His campaign focuses on uniting the party and increasing participation in constituency activities. With his experience in grassroots mobilisation and party activities, Apunzoe is expected to be a strong contender in the upcoming election.

The Bolga Central NDC constituency is expected to witness a keen contest for the Executive Member position. Apunzoe's return to the race has generated interest among party members, with many expecting a competitive election. The NDC is one of the major political parties in Ghana, and the Bolga Central Constituency is a key area of focus for the party.

The election for the Bolga Central NDC Executive Member position is expected to take place soon. Apunzoe's campaign is gaining momentum, with party members and supporters rallying behind him. The outcome of the election will be closely watched, as it will determine the leadership of the NDC in the Bolga Central Constituency.
