Sammy Gyamfi floors Agbenyo to emerge NDC National Communications Officer

The Young lawyer, Samuel Gyamfi, was elected as the National Communication Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], after he convincingly beat Mr. Fred Agbenyo in what many thought was going to be a keen competition.

The outspoken member of the party polled as much as 6,225 votes, as against Fred Agbenyo’s 2,069, according to provisional figures available to Citi News.

Samuel Gyamfi is relatively younger than his only competitor, Fred Agbenyo, who went into the polls as a Deputy Communications Officer.

Mr. Gyamfi has been an active member of the Communications team of the NDC over the past few years, and is known for representing the party on some major media platforms.

Until recently, Mr. Gyamfi was the Communications Director of Ibrahim Mahama’s Exton Cubic Mining Group.

He was also the spokesperson and PRO for the former Mayor of Kumasi, Kojo Bonsu, between 2012-2016.

He was President for TEIN-NDC KNUST between 2011-2012, and is the immediate past SRC President of the Ghana School of Law.

NDC communicators also protested a decision to scrap the election of national communicators.

Some 65 aspirants vied for various positions to steer the national affairs of the party.

Many of the party stalwarts including former presidents Jerry John Rawlings and John Dramani Mahama, were also present.

In all, over 9000 delegates voted in the election.
