National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo has announced his decision to seek re-election during the party’s upcoming National Congress.
In the view of Mr. Ampofo, the NDC has become more attractive under his leadership hence should be given another mandate.
Chairman Ampofo who likened himself to the biblical Jesus Christ when he was asked by the disciples whether he was the messiah, insisted that the delegates must look no further than him as he is prepared to take the party to the promised land.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Oyerepa TV, Mr Ofosu-Ampofo charged the supporters not to change the team that turned around the fortunes of the party after it suffered a humiliating defeat in 2016.
“I liken myself to Christ when he was asked by the disciples if he is the Messiah. Jesus said to them, the blind sees, the lame walk, the deaf hears, what more do you want to see? I am the National Chairman of the party. The party was in disarray due to our humiliating defeat in 2016. It wasn’t attractive at the time but I played a key role together with my team to turn the fortunes of the party during the 2020 elections. Under my leadership we have a hung parliament, that’s not all, we also have a speaker from our party. This has never happened before, so if you are looking for the messiah in the NDC, look no further than Samuel Ofosu Ampofo,” he told host Kwesi Parker-Wilson.
Mr. Ampofo also added that but for the use of the state-sponsored security personnel, the NDC would have won more parliamentary seats in the 2020 elections including Techiman South, Tarkwa Nsuaem, Zabzugu, Essikado Ketan amongst others.
He further argued that party is “experiencing revolution and transformation”under his watch and added that he has what “it takes to bring the NDC to power again.”
He however believes he together with his team also managed to snatch seats that have never been won by the NDC in a long time citing Tema East, Ayensuano amongst others. This he insists demonstrates his competence and urged the party supporters to renew his mandate to serve for another four year term.
