Dr Sammy Ayeh, Governance Spokesperson at the Presidency, has picked nomination forms to contest for the position of Deputy National Communications Officer of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr Ayeh says he wants to strengthen the party’s communication strategy and ensure its vision reflects the aspirations of Ghanaians. He believes the position will give him an opportunity to contribute to how the party explains its policies and engages the public.
Announcing his decision to contest, Dr Ayeh expressed gratitude to the NDC’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, for his leadership and mentorship. He credited Mr Gyamfi with helping shape his professional development and giving him the confidence to take on greater responsibilities within the party.
“I am deeply grateful to Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi, our able National Communications Officer, on whose shoulders I have risen. His exceptional leadership, mentorship and confidence in me have shaped my journey and strengthened my resolve to serve,” Dr Ayeh said.
The presidential spokesperson outlined three key priorities he intends to pursue if elected. These include strengthening research-driven communication, empowering grassroots communicators and improving the party’s strategic engagement with the media.
He said his ambition is to build on the existing communication structure and make the NDC’s message clearer, more effective and accessible to the public. His proposed approach places emphasis on research, coordination and stronger connections with party supporters at the grassroots level.
Dr Ayeh also appealed to party members and supporters to back his candidature as he seeks to become the party’s next Deputy National Communications Officer. “I humbly ask for your support,” he added.
His decision to contest places him among those seeking leadership responsibilities within the NDC’s communications machinery. The position plays an important role in explaining party policies, responding to public concerns and maintaining engagement with the media and the wider Ghanaian public.
