The political landscape of Greater Accra has seen numerous figures, but few have left an impact as profound as Hon. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore.

As the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ashie Moore has etched his name in the history of Ghanaian politics, securing an achievement unparalleled in the region—the extraordinary success and dominance of the NDC in Greater Accra under his leadership.

A Background of Experience and Vision

A former Member of Parliament for the Adenta Constituency and a successful businessman, Ashie Moore brings a wealth of governance experience alongside his sharp business acumen.

His pragmatic, people-centred approach to leadership has been fundamental in the NDC's historic triumph in Greater Accra. At the core of his strategy was the ambitious “Agenda Win Twenty-Five Seats”, which sought to capture an additional five constituencies from areas historically dominated by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Championing Development and Mobilisation

Ashie Moore’s strategy was firmly grounded in action.

Rather than focusing solely on abstract plans, he took a highly participatory approach, often spending days and nights in key constituencies, galvanising support, motivating party executives, and energising grassroots efforts.

His leadership fostered inclusivity, with regular consultations ensuring that party structures—from branch executives to regional leaders—were fully equipped and invigorated to deliver on the vision.

A standout moment during his leadership was the launch of the campaign book “For the Records”, a publication authored by me, Raphael Apetorgbor, that highlights the developmental achievements of the NDC in the Anyaa-Sowutuom Constituency. Ashie Moore offered moral support by attending the book launch, which was endorsed by former President John Dramani Mahama and formally unveiled by former Finance Minister, Seth Terkper.

The event, chaired by Samuel Odarquaye Lamptey, a former Anyaa-Sowutuom Constituency Deputy Organiser and Chairman aspirant, was further enhanced by the professionalism of Tony Goodman, who served as the Master of Ceremony

Logistics and Strategic Leadership

Success in politics requires not only vision but also impeccable organisation and resource mobilisation.

Ashie Moore ensured that all constituencies had the necessary logistical and financial support for effective campaigning.

His provision of campaign logistics emphasised his commitment to ensuring the strategy was fully realised.

Regular engagement with constituency executives was key in maintaining momentum, making certain that all preparations were well executed.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: A Historic Win

Ashie Moore's efforts have substantially transformed Greater Accra’s political dynamics. Under his leadership, the NDC secured an unprecedented 31 out of 34 parliamentary seats in the region—an impressive leap from the 20 seats previously held. While constituencies such as Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, and Ablekuma North remain tied up in legal proceedings, this extraordinary victory highlights the NDC's growing strength under Moore's stewardship.

In sharp contrast, the NPP now retains control of only three constituencies—Anyaa-Sowutuom, Weija-Gbawe, and Trobu—highlighting a significant decline in their regional dominance.

Unified Victory: Celebrating a Collective Achievement

While Ashie Moore’s role was crucial, he is the first to attribute the NDC’s success to the collective effort of the party’s members.

"This victory belongs to every single member of the party, from grassroots activists to the senior leadership," he has affirmed.

His acknowledgement speaks to the spirit of unity and determination that propelled the NDC to this triumph in Greater Accra.

A Legacy of Appreciation and Motivation

True to his leadership style, Ashie Moore made it a priority to reward the party’s dedicated supporters.

As part of this, he organised an all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai for 90 loyal party members, in recognition of their efforts. Constituencies that performed particularly well were also rewarded with various incentives, including cash prizes, vehicles, refrigerators, and motorcycles.

Conclusion: Leadership That Inspires

Hon. Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore has proven that leadership is more than simply holding a title; it is about inspiring people, setting ambitious goals, and achieving tangible outcomes.

His unwavering commitment, strategic vision, and relentless pursuit of excellence have not only resulted in a historic victory for the NDC in Greater Accra but have set a high standard for political leadership in Ghana.

From his tenure as an MP to his current role as a dominant political figure, Ashie Moore’s legacy of service and achievement will certainly leave an enduring mark.
