A communication member of the C4C campaign team of The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Bernard Oduro Takyi has revealed that it is the plan of Dr.Ofosu-Ampofo to bring all losing candidates to the table if retained as the National Chairman on December 17th as he knows unity alone can help the NDC win power in 2024.
Bernard Oduro Takyi (B.O.T) said the experience Dr. Ampofo has gained over the years is unmatched, and assured that he will lead the NDC to power come the 2024 general elections.
“The only savior for the NDC to win power in the 2024 general elections is unity and Dr. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo knows this so he will bring all losing candidates to the table to draw a strategic plan to win power in 2024”. B.O.T said on Ahotor 92.3 Fm’s morning show dubbed Adekye Mu Nsem.
B.O.T called on the delegates to vote massively for Dr.Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo to lead the party to victory by sending the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) into opposition.
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo who is seeking re-election will lock horns with the incumbent General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, a former Deputy Minister of Works and Housing, Samuel Yaw Adusei, and former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Armah Ashitey.
Ofosu Ampofo touts achievements under his leadership
Ofosu Ampofo, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has touted achievements chalked under his leadership.
“Under my tenure, the party has managed to reduce the one million vote deficit it suffered in the 2016 elections as well as reclaiming lost parliamentary seats which has resulted in a hung Parliament,” he affirmed.
Mr Ofosu, who is seeking re-election, noted that the current executives had collectively delivered on the mandate given to them in 2018 including ensuring Parliament had a Speaker who for the first time in history, was not a member of the ruling party.
“I can say as the leader of the party that it was through my effort and direction that we were able to achieve all this, where we have positioned the party now, we believe when we make arrangements like we are doing, for the first time we have had branch elections and they were incident free,” he asserted.
Mr Ampofo doffed his hat for regional and constituency executives who for the past three months had not slept at home, had been crisscrossing between Kumasi and Koforidua, worked hard to strengthen structures of NDC to elect branch executives and it was now left with constituency executives.
According to him, the current leadership of the NDC were building the party as ‘war machinery’ to enable the party win the 2024 elections convincingly because it had become the most attractive political party in the country due to the peaceful conduct of its internal electoral processes so far as basis for his assertion.
“On my re-election bid, I have been able to unify the party which has become a ‘weapon’ every political party needs such intervention which plays key role in the party’s success at the 2020 polls, having earlier suffered a record one million vote difference in the 2016 elections,” Mr Ampofo contended.
He revealed that those who contested former President Mahama for the flag bearer position were given jobs and through that unity of purpose, the party performed well at the 2020 polls and insisted NDC never lost that election but attributed the defeat to the Supreme Court ruling which did not uphold their case.
“We will not go to the Supreme Court in 2024 because we are strengthening the party base at the polling station level,” Mr Ampofo maintained.
