WITHDRAWAL FROM THE NPP GENERAL SECRETARY RACE

On Wednesday, 13 July 2022, I officially withdrew my aspiration for the General Secretary position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). A letter has been issued to that effect, to the National Election Committee, and that I believe was received in good faith.

In the spirit of the Party’s constitution as stipulated in Article 10 (4), I presented myself as a nominee for the General Secretary position, to which, I was duly vetted and passed by the Elections Committee.

I secured the 4th position among five other contenders on the ballot paper.

My campaign was strongly articulated with an assurance of transforming the Party into an effective political machinery that inspires confidence and trust within the Party and among Ghanaians.

My message of change was well received by the masses of delegates and party people across the country.

I have impressed on the Party that the New Patriotic Party requires transformation — a transformation that embraces scientific and innovative electoral strategies and systems, and effective Party management.

Delegates had high hopes of the change I am capable of effecting in the Party should I become the General Secretary. Though I am stepping out of this contest, I am willing to share with whoever gets elected as the General Secretary, and the Party in general, the knowledge, ideas, and tools I had intended to use in rebuilding the Party into prominence and sustained political power.

As a Patriot, I will continue to serve in any capacity, and pursue the interest of the Party at all times.

To my Party people and particularly delegates, I urge you to uphold the tenets of our Party’s constitution, values, and principles in all endeavors.

The Ghanaian is super sensitive to the manner in which we conduct our internal elections. I pray, therefore, that, in unity, we allow delegates to freely make a choice for its leadership for the next four-year term.
