Dr. Sammy Ayeh (Dr. (Med) Samuel Ayeh) is a medical doctor and an NDC communicator. He serves at the Presidency as Presidential Aide for Government Communications under President John Dramani Mahama, and has also been described as Governance Spokesperson at the Presidency.
He trained as a medical doctor at the University of Cape Coast School of Medical Sciences. His voice for the party began there, in the student movement. As Communication Officer of TEIN-UCC, the NDC’s Tertiary Educational Institutions Network on campus, he spoke for the party’s students, writing statements and taking on opponents in campus debate, and signed a TEIN-UCC statement backing John Mahama’s pledge to fast-track medical training and secure jobs for health graduates. He later led TEIN-UCC as its President.
The NDC named him one of its sectoral manifesto spokespersons, with responsibility for youth development. In 2024 he explained the party’s plan for “Time of Use” meters as a way to cut costs for businesses and support youth jobs in a 24-hour economy, and on Akoma FM in Kumasi argued that the Ashanti Region had been sidelined in development.
Since 2025 he has served in the communications team at the Presidency, explaining the policies and progress of the Mahama government on the economy, energy, health and governance, including to audiences in the regions. He has spoken on the return of power cuts, the jobs programmes in the 2026 budget, the turnaround of state institutions, and the NDC’s part in the National Health Insurance story.
Medicine shapes his approach to public service. In October 2024 he petitioned the Ghana Medical Association to act on comments by a doctor and Member of Parliament about illegal mining, and in January 2026 he wrote in support of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (MahamaCares), arguing that its cardiac initiative could mark the end of preventable deaths for patients who could not afford care.
On 21 October 2026 he picked nomination forms to contest the position of Deputy National Communications Officer of the NDC at the 11th National Delegates Congress. His campaign rests on three commitments: communication built on research and evidence, real support for the party’s grassroots communicators, and stronger, more strategic engagement with the media. “I offer myself to help communicate our vision clearly and connect our message with the aspirations of the people,” he said in announcing his bid.
