Abdul Rasheed, Deputy Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nwabiagya South Constituency, has appealed to party delegates in the Ashanti Region to vote for Osei Richmond, popularly known as Ostrich, in the party’s Regional Organiser race scheduled for November 14, 2026, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
He said electing Ostrich as Regional Organiser would provide an opportunity to strengthen the party’s organisational structures, improve grassroots mobilisation and enhance coordination among constituency executives across the Ashanti Region.
According to Abdul Rasheed, the position of Regional Organiser requires an individual with the commitment, experience and leadership qualities to bring party members together and ensure effective organisational activities.
He described Osei Richmond Ostrich as an entrepreneur, miner and philanthropist, noting that his involvement in business and community development had given him valuable experience that could contribute to the party’s organisational work.
Abdul Rasheed further argued that the Regional Organiser’s portfolio goes beyond grassroots mobilisation, describing it as a critical position that also carries responsibilities for safeguarding the party’s organisational structures and internal security.
He maintained that the position requires a strong-minded, resourceful and financially capable individual who can provide the necessary support for effective party activities. He expressed confidence that Ostrich possesses the financial strength and personal capacity needed for the assignment.
The Nwabiagya South Deputy Organiser stressed that the NDC needed a Regional Organiser who would prioritise the concerns of grassroots members, strengthen communication channels and ensure that constituency and branch structures remained active and effective.
He further emphasised that grassroots mobilisation was essential to the party’s political fortunes, adding that effective organisation, teamwork and commitment from party leadership were necessary to sustain the NDC’s presence across the region.
Abdul Rasheed urged delegates to consider the broader organisational needs of the party when making their choices in the November 14 primaries. He also called for unity, tolerance and peaceful conduct among aspirants and their supporters.
He expressed confidence in Ostrich’s candidature, appealing to delegates across the Ashanti Region to consider his message on organisational development, financial capacity and grassroots mobilisation in the Regional Organiser contest.
