The announcement was reported by Myjoyonline on July 15, with the businessman outlining a campaign platform built around unity, service and leadership — qualities he argued would translate into stronger electoral outcomes for the party across the Northern Region.
Director Arisky's NDC Background
Director Arisky is widely recognised as the Chief Executive Officer of Might Construction Limited and carries considerable influence among the youth in the Northern Region. Before his current bid, he served as Tamale South Constituency Treasurer of the NDC from 2004 to 2020, a 16-year stint that established him as one of the longest-serving executives in the constituency's history.
That extended period in party service shaped his reputation as a consistent advocate for youth empowerment, women's development and grassroots mobilisation in the region. In his declaration, he also highlighted his capacity to bring together different factions of the party, framing internal cohesion as central to the NDC's prospects in the region.
