A former Ghanaian ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Alhaji Said Sinare, has decided to withdraw from the hectic race to elect a National Vice Chairman for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
An aide to the ambassador, Mr Japhet Festus Gbede announced this with a post on social media.
Japhet said “I regret to inform members of the National Democratic Congress of my boss Alhaji Said Sinare’s, decision to withdraw from the upcoming national vice chairmanship election,”
He continued: “This necessary but painful decision has been lauded by circumstances beyond our control, but we see it as putting the party first.
“I urge his many supporters across the country to be cooperative as he plans a movement that will shake the ground in the best interests of the NDC and JD Mahama in 2024.
“As we prepare to elect our next national officers, it is our prayer that we elect a national chairman that will have the will and the interest of the rank and file of the party at heart and make unity a hallmark as we forge into a crucial election in 2024.”
The NDC goes to the polls in December to elect new national executives.
Said Sinare is a former member of parliament for Ayawaso Central Constituency in the Greater Accra Region. Under the NDC administration of John Dramani Mahama, he received two diplomatic appointments.
Sinare initially served as Ghana’s ambassador to Egypt between 2012 and 2014, before later being appointed Ghana’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia in October 2014, a position he would hold until the NDC lost power in the 2016 elections.
