President John Dramani Mahama, has admonished the newly elected executives of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to put up their best since there is a lot of work to be done.
“We have a lot to do for Ghana, and a lot to offer Ghanaians now and in the years to come. Only the best will do and we will strive to offer the best,” he said.

Kofi Portuphy, National Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) was elected as the Chairman of the NDC and Kofi Adams also was elected as the National Organizer.
In all 23 persons were elected for various positions in the party.
President John Dramani Mahama for his part as the flag bearer of the party, congratulated all the newly-elected Executive officers.
He said: “I have called our new party Chairman, Mr. Kofi Portuphy, and congratulated him on winning a fair and democratic fight.”
“I have also conveyed, through him, my congratulations and very best wishes to all the other members – both retained and newly-elected – who will now form a new solid leadership to provide an even more effective organisation for our great party, so that all Ghanaians can benefit from the skills, commitment and expertise we have to offer.”
The President has equally extended his immense gratitude to all the outgoing national executives of the NDC.
“Dr. Kwabena Adjei, Yaw Gyan and others who have been replaced are committed social democrats and lifelong NDC stalwarts, and we must thank them very much for all the sacrifices and contributions they have made for the sake of the party and for Ghana,” President Mahama stated.
He added that these experienced party colleagues will still be needed to share their knowledge and advice to assist the new executives and the party in moving the Government’s agenda forward.
The President commended Alhaji Hudu Yahaya for the great maturity he displayed in standing down from the Chairmanship contest in the larger interest of the party.
President Mahama also extended his congratulations to all members of the National Democratic Congress – at home and abroad – on the successful delegates’ conference that has concluded peacefully, smoothly and successfully in the Ashanti Regional capital.
He urged all members of the party to rally together quickly behind the new executives, in a renewed spirit of unity, dedication and commitment, so that the party can become stronger, better, and more effective in delivering excellent governance and prosperity to the people of Ghana, based on integrity, vision and patriotism.
