The National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has emphatically declared his closest contender, Johnson Asiedu Nketia as a no match.
He is therefore calling on Mr. Asiedu Nketia, the party’s longest serving General Secretary, to withdraw from the contest because he would be beaten hands down.
Speaking to a cross section of the media in the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua, over the weekend, he called on delegates to vote for him massively.
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo who is seeking to retain his position said Asiedu Nketia will suffer a humiliating defeat if he refuses to throw in the towel.
The former Local Government Minister says he has the experienced hands to return the NDC to power in 2024.
“If they have nothing to say, they should throw in the towel and withdraw from the race because I want to assure you that I will win this election and I will win it hands down, and I will lead the NDC to power,” he said.
Meanwhile, he also pledged to support former President John Dramani Mahama should he decide to lead the party into 2024 general elections.
“I have been loyal to former President Mahama and continue to be loyal to him, and I want to state that, if our delegates endorse him or vote for him, which I know is a possibility and likely scenario, I will give him my 200% support. I will work for him 24 hours to ensure that he wins the next elections and form the next government to bring the policies to rescue this country into reality,” he said.
