Mr. Obetsebi who led the party to victory in the 2000 and 2004 General elections as Campaign Manager died in London this dawn.
Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey did not only serve his party selflessly and diligently, but also helped in nation building.

the cabinet of President John Kufuor.
Previously Obetsebi-Lamptey was
Minister of Tourism and
Modernization of the Capital (2002–

Indeed, a true son of the Nation and the great elephant family has passed on.
A great pillar has fallen.
As we mourn this great man of our party and country, we request that all party flags- national, regional, constituency and polling stations offices- fly at half mast.
Any other arrangements will be communicated to the general public in due course.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family.
Signed
