Mr Daniel Amartey-Mensah, immediate past Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ledzokuku-Krowor, on Friday filed his nomination to contest the Greater-Accra Regional Chairmanship position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Asked why he felt he stood tall among the five contestants in the chairmanship race, the former MCE said, he has a track record, because he started from the grass roots in 1992, as the branch chairman for Cold Store, up to 1995.
He said from 1995 to 1999, he held the position of a Constituency Treasurer for Ledzokuku, and was elected Assemblyman for Tsui-Bleoo in 1998, a position he held until 2002.
He said having done a good job for his constituents, they elected him as the Constituency Chairman from 2005 to 2009, and was at the same time Co-ordinator of the Kpeshie Co-ordinating Council from 2006 to 2009.
He said having proved worthy of his salt, the President appointed him as the MCE for Ledzokuku-Krowor, one of the newly-created Assemblies in 2009, a position he held up to 2013.
The former MCE who picked his nomination forms on Tuesday, assured members and supporters of the party in the region that under his chairmanship, he would work hard to ensure that NDC swept all the constituency seats in the region, come 2016.
Mr Amartey-Mensah, therefore, stressed the need for the rank and file of the party to close their ranks, so that with a united front they could go into the 2016 elections with confidence.
According to the Regional Office of the NDC, the filing of nominations closes on Saturday, November 1, while all contestants for the various positions subject themselves to vetting on Wednesday, November 5.
