Let’s join forces to soldier on – Ofosu Ampofo to NDC

The defeated national chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has appealed to members of the party to join forces to soldier on as the party strives to wrestle power from the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) in the 2024 polls.

According to him, he prays that NDC members will quickly recover from their individual pains and dented reputation after the election to restore their public morality.

Mr. Ofosu Ampofo was defeated in the National Chairmanship by former General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketiah during Saturday’s National Delegates Congress at the Accra Sports Stadium where new leaders for the party were elected.

He secured 2,892 votes, while Asiedu Nketia garnered 5,569 votes.

In a statement, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo said, “while this election needlessly witnessed the worse form of inner vilification, personal attacks and public injury to the hard-won reputation of our Party through various means of public spaces and on social media platforms, this insensitivity would inadvertently affect our restitution, unity and cohesion needed to engender the collective prosecution of our agenda for victory 2024.

“Let us appreciate that this victory is simply a prelude to the battle ahead of us. I pray that we quickly recover from our individual pain and dented reputation to restore our public morality, so we can join forces to soldier on”.

He expressed his commitment to working assiduously with the newly elected national executives for the NDC to win the 2024 general elections.

“I re-dedicate myself to the bigger task of working for victory in 2024 and pledge my unalloyed commitment to work even harder for the party together with the elected National officers, and the rank and file of our great party to achieve our ultimate goal of regaining power from the NPP in 2024,” the outgoing national chairman assured.

Mr. Ofosu Ampofo further congratulated the newly elected executives.

HON SAMUEL OFOSU-AMPOFO CONGRATULATES NEWLY ELECTED NDC NATIONAL EXECUTIVES.

On behalf of Team Ofosu Ampofo, I wish to congratulate the newly elected National Chairman and other National Executives of our dear party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who emerged victorious at the just-ended 10th National Delegates Congress held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday 17th December 2022.

While these elections needlessly witnessed the worse form of inner vilification, personal attacks and public injury to the hard-won reputation of our Party through various means of public spaces and on social media platforms, this insensitivity would inadvertently affect our restitution, unity and cohesion needed to engender the collective prosecution of our agenda for victory 2024.

Let us appreciate that this victory is simply a prelude to the battle ahead of us. I pray that we quickly recover from our individual pain and dented reputation to restore our public morality so we can join forces to soldier on.

I re-dedicate myself to the bigger task of working for victory 2024 and pledge my unalloyed commitment to work even harder for the party together with the elected National officers, and the rank and file of our great party to achieve our ultimate goal of regaining power from the NPP in 2024.
Once again congratulations!

May God Help Us All

Ey3 Zu! Ey3 Za!
