Accra, July 19, GNA – Mr Prince Kamal Gumah, an unsuccessful National Youth Organiser aspirant in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Executive Elections, says he will support the Party to win the 2024 general elections.
He said although he desired to lead the youth wing of the NPP, he had accepted the decision of the delegates, adding that his defeat would not hinder his commitment to the cause of the Party.
Speaking to journalists in Accra, Mr Gumah also pledged to support the new National Youth Organiser, Salam Mohammed Mustapha, with his expertise and resources to strengthen the Party’s youth wing.
“This journey ended the way we do not want, but my team is grateful to the delegates and the Party. I have no doubt the election was free and fair. I congratulate Salam and I want the whole Party to know that I am committed to breaking the eight,” he said.
He added: “I will work with everybody as long as your idea is to break the eight.”
Four people contested the Youth Organiser position.
Salam Mohammed Mustapha emerged winner of the contest by polling 255 votes.
