Sinare yet to inform NDC of resignation

Accra, July 29, GNA - The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday said it was yet to receive the letter of resignation of its Second National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Said Sinare from the party.

"Alhaji Sinare has not informed the party of his decision to resign; we heard it in the news and I cannot comment of speculations until we receive a formal resignation letter from our National Vice," Mr Baba Jamal, a Deputy General Secretary of the Party, told the Ghana News Agency in an interview in Accra.

"If it is true, our honourable gentleman would use the right channel to communicate to the party hierarchy," he said.

Alhaji Sinare, former NDC Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central, who lost the seat in 1996 to Sheikh I. C. Quaye, the current Greater Accra Regional Minister, announced his resignation to some private radio stations in Accra, saying another senior NDC member, Mr Ato Ahwoi should know whey he has quit the party. Mr. Ahwoi says he has no idea why ALhaji Sinare resigned.

He was elected as the Second National Vice Chairman in December 22, 2005 at the NDC's Sixth National Delegates' Conference in the Eastern Region capital, Koforidua, under the theme: "United for Victory 2008". Meanwhile another Deputy General Secretary, Mr Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, said the party would do everything possible to bring Alhaji Sinare back to the party if the purported resignation was true. He said he did not have a clue about the reason for his resignation.
