President Mahama has urged members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to share their knowledge and advice to assist the new executives and the party in moving government’s agenda forward.
“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.”
The party elected new national executives who will steer the affairs of the party and charged to lead the party into victory in 2016.

“I have called our new party Chairman, Mr. Kofi Portuphy, and congratulated him on winning a fair and democratic fight,” stated President Mahama.
“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.
The fourth aspirant, Alhaji Huudu Yahaya who is the incumbent Vice Chairman of the party withdrew from the race a few minutes to the commencement of the elections on Saturday in Kumasi.
Mahama commended Alhaji Hudu Yahaya for the great maturity he displayed in standing down from the Chairmanship contest in the larger interest of the party.
