Alhaji Said Sinare, a former NDC official who served as Ghana's ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has declared his intention to not run for the party's national vice chairmanship in the next election.
This was revealed by his assistant, Mr. Japhet Festus Gbede, in a Facebook post, and Alhaji Sinare later verified it in an interview.
Japhet said "I regret to inform members of the National Democratic Congress of my boss Alhaji Said Sinare’s, decision to withdraw from the upcoming national vice chairmanship election.
"This necessary but painful decision has been lauded by circumstances beyond our control, but we see it as putting the party first.
"I urge his many supporters across the country to be cooperative as he plans a movement that will shake the ground in the best interests of the NDC and JD Mahama in 2024.
"As we prepare to elect our next national officers, it is our prayer that we elect a national chairman that will have the will and the interest of the rank and file of the party at heart and make unity a hallmark as we forge into a crucial election in 2024."
