Uwumborche Gideon seeks to retain Saboba NPP secretary post, pledges stronger organisation

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Constituency Secretary for Saboba, Uwumborche Bitermi Gideon, is seeking re-election, pledging to strengthen the party’s grassroots structures, improve internal communication and promote unity ahead of the 2028 general elections. Mr Uwumborche, who has held the position since 2022, says his priority if re-elected will be to ensure that party branches remain active, meetings are properly coordinated and the constituency organisation remains vibrant.

He also plans to improve communication between polling stations, electoral areas and the constituency executive, while supporting membership mobilisation and voter outreach across the constituency. “I want to build a constituency that is organised, vibrant and ready to recapture power in Saboba,” he said. Mr Uwumborche began his political career as a Unit Committee Member for the Saboba East Electoral Area in 2005.

He later served as Electoral Area Coordinator for Saboba East from 2011 to 2014, before becoming the Saboba Constituency Communications Director between 2014 and 2018. He was subsequently appointed Constituency Organiser, a position he held from 2018 to 2022, before becoming Constituency Secretary in 2022. During his time as Organiser, he supported branch development, trained party activists and mobilised members.

As Communications Director, he coordinated communication between the party and the public, explaining its policies and programmes to voters. Education and professional background Outside party politics, Mr Uwumborche is a teacher and school administrator with more than 14 years of service in the Saboba District. He holds a Master of Public Administration from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), completed in 2025, and a Bachelor of Education in Social Studies from Valley View University.

He also holds a Diploma in Basic Education from St Joseph College of Education in Bechem. In addition to his professional and political roles, he serves as an Advisory Board Member of Saboba AG Hospital.
