On November 17, the NDC went to Congress and elected new national officers for the party. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo emerged as the National Chairman.
The Congress had over 9,000 delegates participating in that election but this number is expected to shoot up significantly for the presidential primaries which has been opened to all executives in the party right from the branch, constituency, regional and national levels.
