The dream of the former SRC President of the Ghana School of Law, Sammy Gyamfi, becoming the National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been shot down by the party
The outspoken young man was disqualified by the party’s Vetting Committee for not meeting the criteria needed to contest for a National Executive position as prescribed in the party’s constitution.
Inside sources say Gyamfi’s disqualification was premised on Article 40 (2) of the NDC Constitution which states that “A member of the party is not qualified to vie for a National Executive Committee position unless the member has held an executive position within the party or government before seeking election”.
Mr. Gyamfi and Fred Agbenyo were the only two candidates vying for the position of National Communications Officer of the NDC.
By virtue of Gyamfi’s technical knockout (TKO), Mr. Agbenyo will now have a field day of annexing the position when the umbrella family goes to the polls on November 3, 2018 to elect their National Executive officers.
Two others, Wonder Mandilo, former NUGS President and Elikem Kotoko, former General Secretary of the Ghana Union of Polytechnic Students (GUPS), kasapafmonline.com understands, were also disqualified on same grounds.
The two were all vying for the National Youth Organiser position of the party alongside two other candidates, George Opare Addo and Yaw Brogya Genfi.
The Vetting Committee of the NDC is made up of the following; General Carl Modey, Hon. Hajia Laadi Ayamba, Hon. Marrieta Brew Oppong and Hon. Magnus Kofi Amoatey.
The rest are Kofi Adams, Vincent Kuagbenu and Hon. Nii Okaija Adamafio.

HAHAHA...... IT feels like chrstmas to me. This reckless talker and arrogant 1diot couldn't even read his party's rules and understand, yet insults every person he comes across as an opponent. Now he has learnt that "flatulence cannot be used to fan fire". Reckless talking and acidic vibes didnt pay much. GREAT NEWS!
And he calls himself a lawyer???? Half baked ***barred word***!!!!
THANK GOD THIS NOTORIOUS BOY SAMMY IN KNOCKED OUT. HE THINK POLITICS IS ONLY TALKING. YOU ARE IN SUCHA BIG PARTY AND YOU DONT KNOW THE RULES. ONLY MOUTH, MOUTH. WHEN YOU COME ON RADIO AND TV YOU JUST SHOUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE THINKING THAT WILL MAKE YOU AN OFFICER IN THE NDC PARTY. NOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR SMOOTHNESS LEVEL YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO HUMBLE YOURSELF WHEN TALKING TO THE ELDERLY.

Ei, General Carl Modey, A member of NDC? 'Ooooooo, sa entia'.
Okro mouth is now shut. Saamia,you think noise making will win you favour.Go and learn how to talk and come next time.
Good one. I think NDC is waking up now. The political landscape will change entirely after 8yrs. The noise and pettiness will give way to reasoning and wisdom. He must go and mature and come back again.
