Aspiring Regional Organizer Alex Ebo Koomson has officially withdrawn from the race for the position of Regional Organizer, throwing his full support behind fellow contender Joseph Abekah Mensah, popularly known as Casty.
In an official statement issued by his campaign team, Mr. Koomson announced that the decision followed “extensive consultations, careful reflection, and consideration of the broader interest” of the party.
According to the statement, Mr. Koomson emphasized that stepping down was a deliberate choice aimed at fostering internal cohesion rather than abandoning his political goals. “This decision is not a sign of weakness or a loss of commitment to our collective vision,” he stated. “Rather, it is a demonstration of maturity, sacrifice, unity, and a firm belief that the collective interest of our party must always take precedence over individual ambitions.”
Addressing his campaign team and grassroots backers, Mr. Koomson acknowledged the potential disappointment his withdrawal might cause among those who had invested in his bid. “To my cherished supporters, I sincerely appreciate your unwavering commitment, sacrifices, encouragement, and confidence in my vision throughout this journey,” the statement read. “I understand that some of you may feel disappointed by this decision, but I urge you to remain calm, stay focused, and embrace this new direction.”
He further cautioned against internal friction following the announcement, urging party members to prioritize solidarity ahead of the elections. “Let us not allow this development to create divisions, resentment, or disunity among us. Our strength lies in our togetherness, and this is the time to demonstrate that we are united by a common purpose rather than individual interests,” he said.
In a direct appeal to his base, the former aspirant called on his delegates, sympathizers, and well-wishers to transfer their backing to his former rival. “I therefore appeal to everyone who believed in my candidature to extend that same energy, commitment, and determination to Joseph Abekah Mensah (Casty). Let us put our differences aside, close ranks, and work together towards a successful outcome,” he noted.
Concluding the statement, Mr. Koomson reiterated that “the journey has never been about an individual; it has always been about the collective good of our party,” pledging his continued commitment to the party’s progress and ideals.
