Mawulorm Adzasu, a contender for the position of Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has withdrawn from the party’s upcoming National Executive Elections and endorsed incumbent Deputy General Secretary, Hon. Mustapha Gbande, for the position.
In a press statement, Mr Adzasu said his decision followed extensive consultations and personal reflection, adding that he had chosen to prioritise party unity and collective interest over personal ambition.
He has consequently appealed to his supporters, delegates and members of the party across the 16 regions to rally behind Mr Gbande’s candidature, describing the endorsement as a strategic move towards strengthening the party ahead of its future electoral responsibilities.
Mr Adzasu explained that his withdrawal should not be interpreted as a sign of weakness but rather as a demonstration of his commitment to the NDC’s collective progress.
He maintained that the party is bigger than individual ambitions and that effective leadership sometimes requires personal sacrifices to strengthen the institution.
Explaining his decision to endorse Mr Gbande, Mr Adzasu cited his administrative experience, institutional knowledge and longstanding contribution to the party’s operations.
He described Mr Gbande as a candidate with the necessary leadership capacity to manage the party’s national secretariat effectively and called on delegates to give him another opportunity to serve.
Mr Adzasu expressed confidence in the party’s electoral prospects, insisting that the efforts of its members across the country were yielding positive results.
