Former Agona West Constituency Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abdul Wahab, popularly known as Africa Zion, has pulled out of the race for the party's National Communications Officer position, bringing his campaign to an abrupt end.

Africa Zion announced his withdrawal in a statement issued on November 9, 2026, following consultations with respected elders and key stakeholders of the party.

He said the decision, though difficult, was taken in the interest of party unity and cohesion, as well as the smooth functioning of the National Communications Bureau.

His withdrawal also comes with a congratulatory message to Comrade Godwin Ako Gunn, whom he acknowledged as the party's next National Communications Officer.

Africa Zion expressed gratitude to supporters who backed his ambition, offered advice and believed in his vision throughout the contest.

But he insists his exit from the race does not mark an end to his commitment to the NDC, stressing that his dedication to the party's ideals and the broader national development agenda remains intact.

"Leadership is not always about occupying a position; sometimes, it is about making difficult decisions for the greater good," he stated.

He further urged party members to close ranks and remain united, arguing that their shared responsibility to move the party forward must take precedence over individual ambitions.
