Defeated National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has congratulated all the newly elected executives of the party.
The executives were elected at the 10th National Delegates Congress held at the Accra Sports Stadium over the weekend.
Mr Ofosu Ampofo lost to his General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, who polled 5,574 out of 8,553 valid votes cast. He polled 2,894 votes.
In his congratulatory message to the newly elected leaders, Mr Ofosu Ampofo said the “insensitivity” that characterised the campaign prior to the elections may affect the party’s quest for unity to forge ahead to reclaim power.
“While this 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,” he stated.
He, however, pledged his willingness to help the party reclaim power from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“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.”
