The National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare Addo (Pablo) has welcomed the decision by defeated National Youth Organizer aspirant of the party, Yaw Brogya Gyenfi to withdraw the suit he filed against the former’s recent re-election.

“I have received the news of the statement written by Mr Brogya Genfi, an immediate past aspirant for the position of National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“I welcome his decision as it is in the right direction. Our party is one that emphasizes on ensuring the right procedures and regulations are adhered to.

“I am glad that finally my brother is rallying support behind the youth wing irrespective of our differences,”  he said in a press release issued on Thursday.

Mr Opare Addo also thanked party leaders who intervened in the issue especially Former President, John Dramani Mahama.

“He has shown once again that he is the leader our party needs at this crucial time of our history,” he added.

Brogya Genfi secured the interim injunction at the Amasaman High Court on Friday, December 17, citing not only the re-elected Opare Addo but also the Congress Planning Committee Chairman of the NDC, Alex Segbefia, the Acting Director of Elections, Daniel Amartey, the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC) and the party itself.

Despite the suit, the re-elected Opare Addo was sworn in on Sunday morning after the 10th National Delegates’Congress was held at the Accra Sports Stadium.

According to party officials, no application had come to their notice when the swearing-in was done.

The withdrawal of the injunction is said to have followed the intervention of former President John Dramani Mahama.
