NPP Cannot Penetrate Greater Accra Under My Watch’ – NDC Vice Chairman William Vinyo Vows
Incumbent Greater Accra Regional Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), William Vinyo, has declared that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will struggle to make electoral inroads in the region if delegates renew his mandate in the party’s regional elections scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Mr Vinyo is appealing to delegates to retain him, arguing that his track record in party organisation, electoral security and grassroots mobilisation has contributed significantly to the NDC’s growing parliamentary strength in the Greater Accra Region.
He said his tenure as Regional Vice Chairman had been marked by deliberate efforts to strengthen the party’s structures, protect its votes and improve its electoral fortunes.
Recounting his achievements, Mr Vinyo said that when he assumed the position in 2018, the NDC had only 13 parliamentary seats in the region and faced the challenge of rebuilding its political influence following the 2016 general elections.
He claimed to have played a key role in reviving the party’s constituency structures by supporting the payment of rent for all 34 constituency offices, while also providing financial backing for the party’s internal security operations.
According to him, working under the leadership of the then Regional Chairman, Ade Coker, the party secured additional parliamentary seats in the 2020 elections, increasing its representation from 13 to 20.
He further attributed the party’s subsequent electoral gains to sustained grassroots mobilisation, effective polling-station monitoring and strengthened internal security arrangements.
Mr Vinyo said the NDC made further gains in the 2024 general elections, securing nine additional parliamentary seats and increasing its representation to 29 seats, a development he believes demonstrates the effectiveness of the strategies implemented during his tenure.
“I don’t speak much, but I work. I am an operational person. You could see that when I took over as Vice Chairman, our security in Greater Accra became very effective. That is why the NPP cannot penetrate Greater Accra,” he declared.
He maintained that protecting the party’s electoral fortunes in the 2028 general elections would require experienced leadership, particularly in strengthening internal security and empowering grassroots supporters to defend the party’s votes.
Mr Vinyo is therefore urging delegates to renew his mandate, insisting that his experience, financial commitment and operational knowledge make him well-positioned to consolidate the NDC’s gains in the region.
“I am asking the delegates to endorse me so that we can continue the good work in Greater Accra. They know what I can do,” he said.
He expressed confidence that retaining him would help the NDC strengthen its electoral machinery and prevent the NPP from making significant political inroads in the Greater Accra Region ahead of the 2028 elections.
