A dedicated party communicator and grassroots mobilizer, Iddrisu Abdul-Majeed, has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of Deputy Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Tamale South Constituency.
According to Mr. Abdul-Majeed, the decision follows extensive consultations with party elders, comrades, and faithful across the constituency. He said his aspiration is rooted in a strong commitment to the ideals and progress of the NDC, as well as a desire to contribute more effectively to the party’s communication efforts.
Mr. Abdul-Majeed brings years of experience in party communication and youth mobilization. Since 2019, he has served as a member of the Northern Regional Communication Team, where he has played a role in promoting the party’s message and engaging with supporters across the region. He believes the experience has equipped him with valuable skills in strategic communication, grassroots engagement, and political messaging.
His political journey also includes leadership within the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN). He served as a TEIN Organizer before rising to become President of the Nursing and Midwifery Training College, Kpembe chapter. During his tenure, he focused on mobilizing students, strengthening participation in party activities, and inspiring young people to become active contributors to the NDC’s growth.
Beyond campus politics, Mr. Abdul-Majeed is the Founder and President of the Tamale South Young Democrats, a youth-focused group that has actively supported the party’s campaigns and mobilization efforts, particularly during the 2020 and 2024 general elections.
At the grassroots level, he currently serves as the Branch Youth Organizer for the Almuqadas Polling Station in the Kakpagyili Electoral Area, where he continues to work to strengthen party structures, promote unity, and deepen engagement between the NDC and constituents.
Outlining his vision for the position, Mr. Abdul-Majeed stated that he aims to support the constituency’s Communication Directorate in enhancing the party’s communication strategy, effectively projecting the achievements and policies of the NDC, combating misinformation, and strengthening engagement with party members and the wider public.
He emphasized that unity, discipline, and effective communication remain critical to consolidating the party’s gains and positioning the NDC for greater success in Tamale South and beyond.
Mr. Abdul-Majeed has therefore appealed to delegates, comrades, and supporters to back his candidature as the party prepares for its internal elections.
“Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant, and united party that continues to serve the people effectively,” he said.

Former Ghanaian professional footballer Abdul Jafar Samed Issah was in attendance, alongside his spouse Khadija , to support his close friend Jaleen Devon Smith as Croatia secured a convincing 115–80 victory over Latvia in the FIBA Basketball World Cup qualifying campaign on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
Issah, who enjoyed a professional football career with stints in Denmark, Latvia, Ethiopia and other European destinations, made time to cheer on Smith as Croatia bounced back strongly following their defeat to Germany.
Smith was instrumental in Croatia’s impressive performance, showcasing the form and quality that have made him an important figure for the national team. The result provided Croatia with a much-needed boost in their qualifying campaign.
Beyond the sporting arena, Smith and Issah have developed a close friendship over the past year. Their relationship has extended beyond football and basketball, with the pair sharing ideas about potential humanitarian and community-development projects in northern Ghana.
Smith, an American-born professional basketball player who has represented Croatia at international level, has developed a growing admiration for Ghana and is reportedly keen to contribute to initiatives that could positively impact communities in the northern part of the country.
The friendship between the two sports personalities has therefore evolved into more than a personal connection, with discussions around future projects creating excitement among Smith’s supporters and admirers in Ghana.
Smith recently signed with Hapoel Jerusalem, where he is set to compete in the Israeli Premier League and EuroCup. As he continues to make an impact on the basketball court, his growing connection with Ghana through his friendship with Jafar Samad Issah could open the door to meaningful humanitarian initiatives in the future.
For Issah, Thursday’s game was another opportunity to stand firmly behind his friend and celebrate Croatia’s emphatic victory over Latvia.

Anta Scholarship Education Fund provides financial Assistance to 200 Tertiary Students
The Former Finance Minister and MP for Karaga, Hon. Dr. Amin Mohammed Adam Anta, has disbursed funds worth 330,000 Ghana Cedis to support the education of over 200 beneficiary tertiary students in the Constituency under the Amin Anta Education Scholarship Scheme.
The intervention forms part of the MP’s broader commitment to supporting the education of every student in the Constituency, especially those at the tertiary level, and to removing financial barriers that sometimes serve as obstacles to the education of needy but brilliant students.
The Anta Education Scholarship scheme covers beneficiaries pursuing education across Public Tertiary Institutions in the country, including education and health training Institutions.
This year’s beneficiaries stand at 200 students, bringing the total tally to 1,519 beneficiaries who have benefited from the scholarship fund since its inception in 2019 to date, running for seven consecutive years.
The Anta Education Fund is an annual financial aid initiative established by Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam (widely known as Dr. Amin Anta), the Member of Parliament for the Karaga Constituency in the Northern Region of Ghana, to provide financial assistance, pay school fees, and support brilliant but financially needy students from basic school up to tertiary institutions (universities and colleges).
At a durbar at the Karaga Community Center on Friday, August 28th 2026, to disburse the funds to beneficiaries, the Chairman of the Scholarship Fund, Jankpihi Naa, thanked the MP for providing financial assistance to students in the area, describing his initiative as a game changer, opening educational doors and removing barriers for students.
On his part, the MP, Mohammed Amin Adam Anta, said he is committed to ensuring that every child in the Constituency gets the right education and climbs the ladder, suggesting that it is a critical means to success.
The MP also seized the occasion to admonish the students to take advantage of the scholarship opportunity and study hard to aspire to greater heights, as he did not have such an opportunity growing up.
The beneficiaries could not mince words but thanked the MP profusely for the intervention, describing his benevolence as ‘incredible and God-fearing’.
