Samson Asaki Awingobit, the Executive Secretary of the Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana, has expressed his intention to vie for the National Chairmanship position in the internal elections of the People’s National Convention (PNC) scheduled for August 31, 2024.
Mr. Awingobit’s media aide, Philip Akutey Azu, together with key party executives, picked the former’s nomination forms at the PNC’s headquarters in Accra.
Mr. Azu told The Chronicle via the telephone on Wednesday that Mr. Awingobit’s journey from modest beginnings to his current role in the national socio-political sphere underscores his dedication to hard work and perseverance.
“Having previously stood as the party’s parliamentary candidate for Ashaiman in 2008 and contested the party’s flag-bearership race in 2020, when he secured the runner-up position to the eventual winner and flagbearer, David Apasera, Mr. Samson Asaki Awingobit, champions the spirit of open competition and is committed to adhering to the principles governing the PNC’s internal election campaign,” Mr. Azu added.
He said Mr. Awingobit’s professional background in trade and entrepreneurship, coupled with his unwavering commitment, positions him as a formidable contender for the National Chairman role.
In conclusion, Mr. Azu said “Mr. Awingobit believes that his expertise and vision are aligned with the PNC’s objectives and eagerly anticipates engaging with party members and supporters in the forthcoming days as he launches his nationwide campaign to garner the support of the rank and file of the PNC.”
