Kojo Danquah has dismissed reports suggesting that he resigned from his position as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Student Loan Trust Fund to contest for the position of Deputy National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to him, his resignation has nothing to do with any ambitions for a national executive position within the party but is instead related to a new assignment within government.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Danquah clarified that he has been reassigned to serve as spokesperson for the Minister for Roads and Highways.
“Yes, I have resigned as Deputy CEO of the Student Loan Trust Fund, but not because I am going to contest for Deputy National Organiser. It is another role within government that I need to undertake,” he explained.
Mr. Danquah said his new role will support the communication and public engagement efforts of the Roads Ministry as government undertakes major infrastructure projects across the country.
“I am needed to serve in another capacity as the spokesperson to the Roads Minister. That is where I am needed because there are several projects that we are undertaking,” he stated.
He further noted that discussions about national executive positions within the NDC are premature since elections for those offices are not expected until later in the year.
“It’s not even time to contest for national positions in the party. It is in December,” he said.
Mr. Danquah, however, indicated that if he were to seek any future party position, it would likely be within the communications structure of the NDC rather than the organiser wing.
“Even if I would go for a party position, it would be in the communications department,” he added.
He described reports linking his resignation to a planned bid for Deputy National Organiser as inaccurate and urged the public to disregard the speculation.
“The report was inaccurate,” he stressed.
