The Abossey Okai Spareparts Dealers Association has rejected any linkages to the billboard campaign of Ablekuma Central NPP parliamentary candidate, Jefferson Kwamena Sackey.
In a statement on Friday, the association said that it is apolitical as an association and, as such, cannot sponsor the billboard of the parliamentary candidates, which has been wrongly created in various media reports.
“As an association, we want to categorically state that we are apolitical, and we do not engage in political activities,” the statement said.
“The association disassociates itself entirely from any claims of involvement in the creation or funding of billboards for the NPP’s parliamentary candidate,” the statement added.
Notwithstanding, the association did not deny the possibility of individual members who may be politically affiliated, hence individually sponsoring the campaign of the parliamentary candidate.
“While the association acknowledges that there may be spare parts dealers within its membership who hold political affiliations and may individually support candidates, this does not reflect the stance or involvement of the association as a whole.”
“Such personal choices do not represent the official position of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association.”
The group assured the public of their non-political position while expressing its resolve to promote the interests and welfare of its members in the spare parts industry.

Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association Denies Sponsorship of Jefferson Sackey’s Billboard
December 8, 2023
The leadership of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association wishes to address recent stories circulating about its alleged sponsorship of the billboards featuring the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidate, Jefferson Sackey.
As an association, we want to categorically state that we are apolitical, and we do not engage in political activities.
The association disassociates itself entirely from any claims of involvement in the creation or funding of billboards for the NPP’s parliamentary candidate.
While the association acknowledges that there may be spare parts dealers within its membership who hold political affiliations and may individually support candidates, this does not reflect the stance or involvement of the association as a whole.
The leadership of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Association wants to assure its members and the general public that it does not participate in political activities, and any assertions suggesting otherwise are inaccurate.
The association recognizes the diversity of its membership, acknowledging that individual spare parts dealers may choose to support political candidates of their choice.
However, such personal choices do not represent the official position of the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association.
In conclusion, the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Dealers Association reiterates its commitment to maintaining a non-political stance and ensuring that its activities focus solely on the welfare and interests of its members in the spare parts industry.
Thank you.
