With the National Democratic Congress (NDC) currently in government, early conversations about succession are beginning to take shape ahead of the 2028 general elections, where President John Dramani Mahama will not be eligible to contest again due to constitutional term limits.
In this evolving landscape, Professor Joshua Alabi is emerging as one of the names being discussed as a possible flagbearer for the party. His reappearance in the conversation reflects a growing interest within the NDC in experienced figures who understand both governance and party structure.
Professor Alabi brings a mix of political and administrative experience, having previously served as Member of Parliament for Krowor and held ministerial roles. Within the party, he is remembered for his time as Greater Accra Regional Chairman, where he played a part in reorganizing the NDC during a challenging period.
As the ruling party begins to think beyond the Mahama era, the question of who can maintain continuity while also offering fresh direction is becoming increasingly important. Supporters of Alabi believe his calm leadership style and deep knowledge of the party could make him a strong consensus candidate.
However, the road to 2028 is still long, and the NDC is expected to see multiple contenders emerge, including younger politicians and new-generation voices seeking to shape the party’s future.
For now, Professor Alabi’s name surfacing signals the start of what is likely to be a competitive and closely watched race within the governing party.
