In the political landscape of Ghana, where loyalty and dedication to party ideals are often overshadowed by personal ambitions and fleeting alliances, Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwah stands out as a shining example of unwavering commitment. A former Member of Parliament for Manhyia North, Hon. Owusu Amankwah’s influence has extended beyond his tenure in Parliament, making him an invaluable asset to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as it gears up for the critical 2024 general elections.
Though his journey has not been without its challenges, most notably the unfortunate loss of his seat due to internal orchestrations within the party’s hierarchy; his resilience and dedication to the NPP have been nothing short of commendable. Rather than retreat into silence or harbor resentment, Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwah has remained an active figure, tirelessly supporting the party in the lead-up to the December 2024 polls.
His close collaboration with the party’s Running Mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh in canvassing support across various constituencies reflects a deep-seated loyalty that cannot be overlooked. He has become a frequent voice on both television and radio, energetically defending the NPP’s track record, communicating its vision, and rallying the grassroots to continue their support for the party’s leadership. In doing so, he has exemplified a kind of selfless service that underscores his belief in the party’s broader mission for national development.
At a time when many in his position would have opted for self-preservation or faded into political obscurity, Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwah chose the path of fortitude. His actions convey a rare understanding that the success of a party does not rest on personal political gains but on a shared commitment to the ideals and promises made to the electorate. His continued activism speaks volumes about his character, patriotism, and belief in the future of the NPP.
As the 2024 elections approach, Hon. Owusu Amankwah’s efforts cannot go unrecognized. His unwavering dedication amidst personal setbacks signals to the appointing authorities that such loyalty deserves its due reward. Should the NPP emerge victorious in December, an outcome many of us strongly anticipate: it will be time for the leadership to reflect on individuals like Hon. Owusu Amankwah, who have remained steadfast in their support despite the odds.
Political loyalty should not only be measured by the victories one secures for themselves but by the sacrifices made for the collective good. Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwah embodies this ethos, and his role in defending and promoting the NPP should be duly acknowledged. As the appointing authorities look to form the next government, it is only fitting that they consider leaders like Hon. Owusu Amankwah, whose work ethic, humility, and loyalty have proven indispensable.
In closing, it is imperative that we recognize and celebrate individuals who, like Hon. Owusu Amankwah, are the unsung heroes of our political journey. He has demonstrated that true leadership is not always about holding office but about consistently working for the good of the party and the nation. As we march towards the 2024 elections, we can only hope that his tireless efforts will be rewarded, ensuring that he continues to contribute to Ghana’s development in an even more impactful way.
The NPP needs more leaders like Hon. Collins Owusu Amankwah; leaders who see beyond personal interests and commit themselves to the larger goals of party and country. And it is only fitting that such dedication be rewarded when the opportunity arises.
God bless our homeland and make her great and strong.
