‘The naysayers predicted doom’ – Edem Agbana reflects on a year as Ketu North PC
Exactly a year after he was elected as the parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the Ketu North constituency, Edem Agbana has reflected on how people thought he could not hold the people together.
In his reflection of the last year, he said that for many people, after he won the race to lead the NDC in the constituency, they predicted doom for him.
“From navigating the complexities of the election declaration to addressing the sharp divisions among the rank and file of our party within the constituency, every step of this journey has strengthened and reinforced my unwavering commitment to leading a united party towards achieving our set target of agenda 85% plus in the general elections.
“The naysayers predicted doom, and many were those who thought the NDC in Ketu North would have broken after the storms, but here we are, united by our pursuit and determined to make history together. It takes a firm leadership to achieve what we have done together,” he wrote.
Edem Agbana also stated that at this point, the kind of leadership Ghana needs is the kind that John Dramani Mahama, the NDC Flagbearer, can offer it.
He urged Ghanaians to give their votes to the former president because “Ghana is in dire need of leadership, leadership that gives hope and can return our nation to the path of progress and development. The John Mahama candidacy answers all the leadership questions begging for answers.”
Should Edem Agbana win the December 7, 2024, parliamentary elections at Ketu North, he will take over from the current Member of Parliament, James Klutse Avedzi.

‘’A Year On : Building the Ketu North We Want Together – Reflections of Amefo Eric Edem Agbana”
Today marks exactly a year since I was elected in a keenly contested parliamentary primaries to represent the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as the Parliamentary Candidate for our beloved Ketu North constituency.
This past year has been nothing short of an amazing journey of service and determination, filled with growth, resilience, and deepened connections with the wonderful people of Ketu North.
Reflecting on the journey we’ve undertaken together, I am reminded of the challenges we’ve faced and the success story we are writing together.
From navigating the complexities of the election declaration to addressing the sharp divisions among the rank and file of our party within the constituency, every step of this journey has strengthened and reinforced my unwavering commitment to leading a united party towards achieving our set target of agenda 85% plus in the general elections.
The naysayers predicted doom, and many were those who thought the NDC in Ketu North would have broken after the storms, but here we are, united by our pursuit and determined to make history together. It takes a firm leadership to achieve what we have done together.
The prayers, trust, and support across the constituency have been both humbling and inspiring. It is a privilege that I do not take for granted, and I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to lead the charge as we seek to build the Ketu North we want together.
As we mark this milestone, let us not only celebrate our achievements but also reaffirm our dedication to ensuring that we sacrifice our all for the victory of John Dramani Mahama, and Eric Edem Agbana.
Ghana is in dire need of leadership, leadership that gives hope and can return our nation to the path of progress and development. The John Mahama candidacy answers all the leadership questions begging for answers.
Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the Ketu North project. We will relentlessly pursue our #EmpoweringKetuNorth agenda.
Let me use this opportunity to thank the leadership of our party at the branch, ward, constituency, regional, and national levels. Your support has been instrumental in shaping our path and uniting our party.
Let me also appreciate everyone involved in my campaign before, during, and after the primaries. Your belief in me is the foundation for the future we seek to build.
I am deeply grateful to my colleague aspirants in the primaries; your magnanimity and support after the primaries are remarkable. During the turbulent period, many of you stood by me and ensured that we assertively fight for the truth.
Together, we will overcome any obstacles that may come our way and build a stronger, and a more resilient party here in Ketu North.
Let us continue this journey together, united in our pursuit of victory in 2024.
God is the Lifter of Men.
Thank You.
