The First Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Said Sinare, has thrown his weight behind the current chairman of the party, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, in the upcoming national congress.
Alhaji Sinare formally endorsed Ofosu-Ampofo in a statement released Thursday, November 10th 2022, praising him for his honesty, loyalty, competence and brilliance.
Alhaji Sinare snubbed General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia to endorse Ofosu-Ampofo, with the two party behemoths locked in a battle for the position of Chairman.
Sinare recently announced he will not re-contest for his position as First Vice Chair, rather throwing his full support towards getting Ofosu-Ampofo re-elected.
Read his full statement below…
Comrades, in accordance with our party’s internal rules and as we get closer to the National Conference in a few days, I would like to appeal to our dear delegates and other party members for their cooperation and support in retaining Hon. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo as our National Chairman.
As far as our internal elections are concerned, our goal must be the success of our party, and the candidates we choose must inspire confidence and a sense of victory among Ghanaians and among the good members of our party even before the crucial general elections of 2024.
I am endorsing Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo for a number of reasons, including his widespread acceptance throughout the nation, his loyalty to the party, as well as the competence, brilliance, and tenacity demonstrated over the past four years while serving as a National Chairman.
In addition, I admire the chairman for being honest, unifying, and open in both his professional and personal lives. You can be sure that I didn’t make this choice on the spur of the moment. After giving each of the other candidates an equal evaluation, I have determined that Hon. Samuel Ampofo is, in a lot of ways, far superior to the others.
He is a politician who has been de-tribalized, a man whose humanity, philanthropy, and respect for everyone, regardless of tribe, religion, or political affiliation, define him. He truly embodies national harmony and puts his party’s interests first.
