Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye has resigned as National Coordinator of the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP), citing his intention to contest a National Executive position within the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a statement issued on Friday, the former Odododiodio MP said the decision followed careful reflection, describing his tenure in the role as a great honour and privilege.
“It has been a great honour and privilege to serve His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama and the people of Ghana in this role. I am deeply grateful for the confidence reposed in me and for the opportunity to contribute to a programme that is transforming local infrastructure and improving lives across our communities,”
Vanderpuye explained that his resignation was driven by a desire to continue serving the party and the country in a different capacity, while contributing to the strengthening of Ghana’s democratic traditions and institutions.
“My resignation is to enable me pursue a National Executive position within our great party, the National Democratic Congress. This decision is driven by my desire to continue serving our party and country in a different capacity, while contributing to the strengthening of our democratic traditions and institutions,” he added.
The former coordinator expressed unwavering commitment to President Mahama’s vision and the ideals of the NDC, saying he was leaving office proud of the work accomplished under the programme.
“I leave office with immense gratitude, proud of the work we have accomplished together and optimistic about the future of DRIP,” he said.
Vanderpuye closed his statement with a call for continued divine guidance in the nation’s collective service.
