Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has been appointed as the Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency.

A well-known political strategist, Gbande has played a crucial role in the NDC’s electoral planning and grassroots mobilization. His new position is expected to leverage his operational and administrative expertise within the highest office of government.

The appointment is seen as part of John Mahama’s broader strategy to strengthen his governance structure ahead of his administration’s key policy implementations.

With this move, Gbande transitions from party leadership into a pivotal government role, where his experience in political organization is expected to enhance operational efficiency at the Presidency.
