Bashiru Amantana has been elected the Savannah Regional Communications Officer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) after securing a decisive victory in the party’s regional elections.
Bashiru polled 130 votes out of the 252 valid votes cast to defeat his contenders, Mubibs Iddrisu who polled 73 votes with Yahaya Mumuni who obtained 49 votes.
His election is expected to usher in a new phase of communication management within the party in the Savannah Region as the NDC intensifies preparations towards the 2028 general elections.
Bashiru’s communication agenda places emphasis on building a coordinated and effective communication network linking the regional, constituency and branch-level structures of the party.
He is expected to focus on strengthening collaboration among party communicators, improving access to timely information and ensuring consistency in the dissemination of the party’s policies and achievements.
His approach also highlights the need for regular briefings, effective information verification and capacity-building programmes to equip communicators with the skills needed to respond to emerging political and public issues.
Bashiru believed his experience across different levels of the party has equipped him with the understanding and organisational skills required to bring communicators together under a common strategy.
He has also stressed communicator welfare, training and improved access to information as essential components of an effective regional communication structure.
The newly elected regional communications officer is expected to lead the party’s efforts to strengthen its public messaging, particularly through traditional and social media platforms, as it works towards consolidating its political support in the Savannah Region.
