A communicator of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Eastern Region, Isaac Anokye, has signalled his intention to contest for the Atiwa East Constituency Secretary position.
His decision has drawn growing support from party members, some of whom describe him as a “bridge between the base and the top.”
Mr. Anokye, who has served on the Eastern Regional NPP communications team for over eight years, is seen by stakeholders as an experienced grassroots organiser.
Party faithful point to his long-standing relationships with key figures and community leaders, as well as his extensive network of regional executives, Members of Parliament, and media practitioners.
They believe these connections position him strongly ahead of the internal contest.
Innovation Agenda
Declaring that he is “lacing his boot” for the race, Mr. Anokye said his ambition is driven by a desire to introduce innovation into party administration.
Among the proposals he has outlined are the creation of a digital polling station database to improve coordination, quarterly town hall meetings to strengthen accountability, and a constituency-wide skills development programme targeting young women and artisans.
Outlining his vision, Mr. Anokye stressed the strategic importance of the constituency secretary role.
“I’ve worked from the grassroots till date. Atiwa East deserves a secretariat that is responsive, data-driven, and forward-thinking,” he said.
“The Secretary is the engine room. If the engine is weak, the vehicle cannot move. I am bringing eight years of communication discipline, loyalty to the party, and fresh energy to make that engine work for everyone,” he added.
Contest
Although nominations are yet to officially open, support is said to be building across the constituency.
Some electoral area coordinators have cited his accessibility and humility as key strengths, noting his “no air of superiority” approach.
Mr. Anokye has pledged to run an open-door secretariat and prioritise capacity building for all wings of the party if elected.
