Prominent businessman and politician, Alhaji Ibrahim Abdul Jalil, popularly known as Director Arisky, has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of Northern Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the party’s regional elections scheduled for November 2026.

Alhaji Abdul Jalil, the Chief Executive Officer of Might Construction Limited, is widely recognised for his longstanding support for youth empowerment, women’s development and grassroots initiatives across the Northern Region.

Over the years, he has built a reputation as a dedicated party activist, community advocate and influential grassroots organiser.

In addition to his political engagements, he currently serves in several high-level management and governance roles, including as a Board Member of Ghana Water Limited, contributing to national development and public service delivery.

In a communiqué announcing his decision, Alhaji Abdul Jalil outlined a vision centred on unity, dedicated service, effective leadership and electoral success.

He pledged to work towards strengthening party structures, deepening grassroots engagement and fostering cohesion within the NDC across the Northern Region.

His declaration adds to a long history of service within the party. Until 2020, he served as the Tamale South Constituency Treasurer, a position he held continuously from 2004, making him one of the longest-serving constituency executives in the area.

Tamale South is currently represented in Parliament by Education Minister and Member of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu.

Supporters, party elders and stakeholders have been urged to receive his candidature in the spirit of unity, mutual respect and democratic participation as the NDC prepares for its internal elections.

The NDC is expected to hold its regional elections in November 2026 to elect new regional executives and chart the course for the party’s future activities and electoral preparations.
