Disqualified NDC National Youth Organizer aspirant rules out appeal

Steven Nhyira Odarteifio says he will neither protest nor appeal his disqualification from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) race for the National Youth Organizer position. However, he thanked the NDC for giving him the opportunity to share his plans for the party’s youth wing and young people across Ghana.

A disqualified aspirant in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Youth Organiser race, Steven Nhyira Odarteifio, has ruled out challenging the party's decision to disqualify him from the contest.

He said he would neither protest the decision nor pursue an appeal, choosing instead to remain neutral as the party prepares to elect a new National Youth Organiser.

In a statement following the conclusion of the party's vetting process, Mr Odarteifio expressed disappointment with the outcome but thanked the NDC for giving him the opportunity to present his vision for the youth wing and young people across the country.

He also congratulated the two candidates who survived the vetting and wished them well in the contest.

Mr Odarteifio said he hoped the candidates would put their differences aside after the election and work together to strengthen the party's youth wing.

“I have decided to remain neutral in this contest, and I stand ready to support whoever wins,” he said.

He reaffirmed his commitment to youth development and agricultural transformation, saying he would continue to advocate policies and initiatives that improve opportunities for young people and help the party fulfil its promises to them.

The former aspirant also expressed gratitude to his sponsors, campaign volunteers and supporters for their contributions throughout his bid for the position.
