The National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, has stated that he is optimistic that the party’s gains since he assumed leadership will result in his re-election in the next national executive elections.
Speaking in a Power FM interview Ofosu-Ampofo stated that under his leadership, the NDC, which is in opposition, has the Speaker of Parliament from its side for the first time in Ghana’s history, as well as the same number of lawmakers as the ruling party.
He did, however, state that his immediate priority is to ensure that the party’s reorganization at the regional and district levels goes successfully.
“From the period I assumed the leadership of the party, all the indicators have been very positive. We have the Speaker of Parliament from our side even though we are in opposition. We also for the first time in the history of Ghana, as the opposition party, have the same number of parliamentarians as the government in power.
“I will withhold my ambitions for now as we work on the process to reorganize the party at the polling stations, constituencies, districts, the regional and national levels. But I will definitely be defending my title because I believe that my performance has been very good. My indicators are very good, my benchmarks are very high. When the time comes, I will go to the delegates and give them an account of the leadership they entrusted to me.
“I will enumerate all the successes the party has chalked under my leadership, including the unity I have brought to the party,” he said.
