Fellow comrades, distinguished leaders, friends, and the entire TEIN UniMAC - IJ family,

Today, I stand before you with a heart full of gratitude and humility. I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with the opportunity to serve as your President. This is not just a personal victory; it is a victory for everyone who believed in our vision and supported this journey.

I acknowledge the outgoing President; whose leadership I am taking over from. Madam President, I receive the baton with respect. I am not here to erase your contributions, but to build on them and take TEIN to the next level. Leadership is a relay, and I hope to hand over a stronger and more united TEIN when my time is over.

As members of the NDC, we have heard the call for a Reset under President John Dramani Mahama. I believe that reset must also begin with us with how we lead, communicate, listen, and serve. It is an opportunity to correct our mistakes, unite, and build a better future.

As a journalist, I have learned the importance of listening, seeking the truth, and giving every voice a place. I therefore pledge to lead an administration that is accessible, responsive, transparent, and accountable.

To everyone who supported me, I say thank you. To those who supported other candidates, I extend my hand to you. The election is over, and we are one TEIN family. Let us put our differences behind us and focus on the work ahead.

Winning the election is only the beginning. I want this administration to be remembered for service, unity, progress, and meaningful impact. I cannot do this alone; I need the ideas, support, constructive criticism, and commitment of every member.

Today, I receive the baton, but tomorrow, we run the race together.

The campaign is over. The mandate has been given. Now, the real work begins.

Let us reset. Let us rebuild. Let us unite. And above all, let us serve.

Long live TEIN UniMAC - IJ. 

Long live the NDC.

Long live Ghana.

Thank you.
