Presidential staffer Beatrice Annan endorses Dr Sammy Ayeh for NDC’s Deputy National Communications Officer role

Presidential Staffer Beatrice Annan has endorsed Dr Sammy Ayeh's bid to become the Deputy National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), expressing confidence in his ability and potential.

In a Facebook post, Ms Annan praised Dr Ayeh's competence and dedication, urging him to remain focused as he seeks to secure the party position.

She described his track record as evidence of his readiness for greater responsibilities and said he had earned the support of those who recognise his capabilities.

“As the saying goes, a child who knows how to wash his hands well earns a place at the table of elders. You have demonstrated your ability, competence and potential, and we are all rooting for you,” she wrote.

“We know what you are capable of, and we have every confidence in your ability to achieve even greater things. Keep going! Sammy Ayeh to the whole world,” she added.

Dr Ayeh, a medical doctor and political communicator, currently serves as a Presidential Aide responsible for Communications at the Office of the President.

His involvement in NDC politics dates back to his student days at the University of Cape Coast, where he served as Communications Officer and later President of the university's branch of the party's Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN).

He subsequently joined the NDC's National Communications Team, where he has contributed to the party's public engagement and communication activities.

During the 2024 general election campaign, he served as the party's Manifesto Spokesperson on Youth Development, helping to communicate its policy proposals and commitments to young people.

Dr Ayeh holds a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree from the University of Cape Coast and has also served on the boards of BOST Energies and Ghana Post.

He has picked nomination forms to contest for the position of Deputy National Communications Officer as the NDC prepares for its next round of national executive elections.

His campaign focuses on strengthening research-driven political communication, empowering grassroots communicators and improving the party's strategic media engagement.

Ms Annan's endorsement adds to the growing public expressions of support for his candidature. NDC Deputy National Communications Director Julius Kwame Anthony has also publicly endorsed his bid, describing him as a committed party member who has demonstrated dedication through sacrifice and service.
