Seasoned educationist and grassroots mobilizer, Mr. Stephen Guy Bile-Blay, has declared his intention to contest for the position of Executive Member in the upcoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) Madina Constituency Executive elections.
Mr. Bile-Blay, who describes himself as a “true son of Madina NDC”, says his decision is born out of over 25 years of dedicated, loyal and uninterrupted service to the party from the branch to the constituency level.
In an interview, Mr. Bile-Blay recounted that his political journey began as far back as 1998 in Madina as an errand boy and volunteer, where he worked closely with revered party elders including the late Mr. Zewu, former Constituency Secretary, Hon. Adam Nasser, former Vice Chairman, Mr. Anku, former MCE, Mr. Anyigba, former Tatsoo Ward Coordinator, and Hon. Faila, MCE.
He said that early exposure grounded him in the core values of the NDC – unity, service and grassroots empowerment.
A Track Record of Service
Giving a summary of his stewardship, Mr. Bile-Blay said he served as Branch Secretary for the Institute of Business Management (IBM), now Baba Yara Branch, from 2002 to 2008, where he handled administration and effective branch organization.
From 2008 to 2012, he served as Branch Youth Organizer, leading youth mobilization and education, before serving as Branch Organizer and a member of the Constituency Campaign Elections Team from 2012 to 2016.
His commitment to local governance saw him contest as a District Assembly Election Aspirant in 2019.
Between 2016 and 2024, he rose to become Chairman of the Madina Islamic Branch, where he was credited with strengthening grassroots participation and promoting unity among members.
In the crucial 2024 general elections, he served as a Member of the Nkwantanang East Campaign Team and as an Islamic Zonal Collation Agent, contributing to campaign coordination and election result collation.
Currently, from 2024 to 2026, he is serving as a Member of the Elections Directorate and an Assistant Trainer for Polling Agents, helping to prepare polling agents to protect the party’s ballots and ensure free, fair and transparent elections.
Why He Wants to Serve
According to Mr. Bile-Blay, Madina Constituency needs experienced, loyal and accessible leaders who understand the branches.
“I have been with the branches for over two decades. I know the pain of our polling agents, I know the strength of our youth and women. I want to bring that experience to the constituency executive to help unify the party and prepare us to retain power in 2028,” he stated.
He said his key priorities if elected will be branch empowerment, youth mobilization, effective polling station organization and sustained unity ahead of the 2028 elections.
He is appealing to all delegates of the Madina Constituency to vote massively for him as Executive Member, promising to be a servant leader who will put the party first.
He is known in Madina as a Visionary Leader and Dedicated Advocate for Community Development.
