Growing discussions within political circles have positioned former Vice-Chancellor of University of Professional Studies, Accra, Prof. Joshua Alabi, as a potential contender in the race for the flagbearership of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Although Prof. Alabi has not formally declared his intention to contest, conversations among party supporters, grassroots members, and political observers suggest that his name is increasingly being mentioned as a possible candidate for the party's future leadership.

Prof. Alabi brings decades of experience in public service, academia, and politics. Over the years, he has served as a Member of Parliament, a Minister of State, and held several leadership positions within both government and educational institutions. His tenure as Vice-Chancellor of UPSA is widely regarded as a period of significant growth and institutional transformation.

Supporters describe him as a calm and unifying figure capable of fostering cohesion within the NDC. They argue that his leadership style, coupled with his reputation for discipline and professionalism, could appeal to both party members and the broader electorate.

Political analysts note that Prof. Alabi's extensive knowledge of governance, public policy, and national development could make him a strong candidate should he decide to enter the contest. They believe his experience may help the party broaden its appeal and strengthen its policy-driven approach.

The prospect of Prof. Alabi joining the race has also sparked discussions about the future direction of the NDC, with some party faithful viewing him as a symbol of experience and renewal.

As the party looks ahead to future internal elections, attention will remain focused on whether Prof. Alabi will officially declare his intentions.
