Why Fiifi Mparey will be the best organiser for the NDC UK and Ireland chapter

The NDC UK and Ireland chapter sits at a critical point. With a large, active diaspora across London, Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin and beyond, the chapter needs an organiser who can do three things effectively and efficiently: mobilise people, communicate clearly, and build structures that last beyond one election cycle. Fiifi Asante Mparey brings exactly that combination.

Fiifi Asante Mparey is already known within NDC circles as Deputy Communication Officer. That role means he has spent time crafting message, managing media, and speaking for the party at a national level.

For a diaspora chapter, communication is everything. Members are spread across different cities, time zones, and work schedules. An organiser who understands how to frame issues, run newsletters like, and respond quickly to political developments will keep the base informed and energised. Fiifi has been doing that work at the national level, so he can bring those systems to the UK and Ireland.

The UK and Ireland chapter’s biggest strength is also its biggest challenge: distance from Accra, but proximity to policy debates in Westminster, Dublin, and international media.

The UK and Ireland chapter has already shown that, it can turn out members for major events, like welcoming President Mahama in the UK, and it continues to push for landslide support for NDC in Ghana.

What is needed now is an organiser who can convert that enthusiasm into consistent structures: branch meetings, fundraising drives, voter registration for Ghanaians abroad, and welfare support for members. Fiifi’s background in both communication and party administration means he can build those systems instead of relying on ad-hoc WhatsApp groups.

Diaspora chapters have faced internal tensions before. Reports from previous election cycles noted delays and disputes around executive elections in UK and Ireland.

An organiser’s job is to prevent that. Fiifi’s experience as Deputy Communication means he is used to de-escalating, finding common language, and keeping focus on the party’s goals. The NDC UK and Ireland chapter will need someone who can work with the Chairman, executives, and ordinary members to ensure transparent processes and avoid the “unseen hands” interference that has been alleged in the past.

Members in the UK and Ireland care deeply about what happens back home: jobs, fire safety and urban resilience, anti-corruption efforts, and economic stability.

Fiifi has already been commenting on national issues and linking them to party messaging. As organiser, he can translate those national priorities into local action: town halls, policy discussions, and advocacy that make the diaspora’s voice heard both in Ghana and in the UK/Ireland.

The next period will demand more than rallies. It will demand:

Organisation: regular branch meetings, clear membership data, and accountable finances

Communication: consistent newsletters, social media, and rapid response to news from Ghana

Outreach: engaging second-generation Ghanaians, students, and professionals who want to contribute

Fiifi Asante Mparey has the communication training, party loyalty, and practical experience to deliver on all three.

The NDC UK and Ireland chapter wants to “continue with our relentless efforts in contributing our quota to ensure a landslide victory”. To do that, it needs an organiser who can turn intent into structure. Based on his track record and role, Fiifi Asante Mparey is positioned to be that organiser.
