The National Democratic Congress has disqualified National Youth Organiser aspirant Steven Nhyira Odarteifio from its upcoming national executive elections following a vetting exercise at the party’s headquarters in Accra.
Odarteifio faced the party’s vetting committee on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, but failed to secure the clearance needed to contest the December polls.
Another contender in the same race, Najib Saqib Yahaya, was also disqualified from entering the election.
The reasons for the disqualification of the two individuals are yet to be disclosed by the party.
Before the decision, Odarteifio had successfully submitted his nomination forms to lead the NDC Youth Wing.
He had promised to deliver on jobs, economic empowerment, leadership training, and expanding opportunities for the youth across the country.
He also outlined plans to restructure the Youth Wing into a broader engine for career skills, access to finance, and entrepreneurship development rather than focusing solely on traditional political mobilisation.
