He pledged his total commitment to work harder with other executives in the area to win more votes for the party in the upcoming 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
He went ahead to appeal to his contender and his supporters and also those who could not win to come together as a united front to work harder for the mother party.
"I'm not going to joke with the position given to me, I'm going to work extra hard to make sure the NDC wins again at Bomoakpole as we did in 2020. I will appeal to my contender to put everything aside and come together for us to work and I will also call on others who couldn't win to join us to work together," he said.
The branch secretary took the opportunity to declare his total support for Mr. John Mahama who had indicated he would contest in the upcoming NDC's presidential elections in 2023.

"Let me use your respected medium to call on the rank and file of the party to come together as one body to rally behind His Excellency John Mahama to whistle political power from the incompetent NPP government," he called.
He added that "Ghanaians are fed up with the NPP government and whoever they bring as their presidential candidate, being it Bawumia, Alan Cash or Kennedy Agyapong, John Mahama will beat the NPP in 2024 because the country is too hard to live in, we can't buy fuel, we don't get to do, we are suffering too much and lets all Ghanaians come together to kick out the incompetent NPP government from power in 2024 and bring John Mahama to rescue the economy".
