Remember your promise to give us a minister - Essikado-Ketan youth to President Mahama

The Concerned Youth of Essikado-Ketan, a group of young activists from the Essikado-Ketan constituency, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to fulfil a campaign promise made during the 2024 elections.

According to the group, then-candidate Mahama pledged to appoint Professor Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah as a minister if he won the elections, in recognition of the constituency's support.

The youth emphasised that this promise was instrumental in securing a historic victory for Professor Dr. Ayensu-Danquah, who became the first National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate to win the Essikado-Ketan parliamentary seat.

Having delivered on their part by voting overwhelmingly for the NDC, the group believes it is now President Mahama’s turn to honour his commitment.

They further highlighted the constituency's and the Western Region’s pivotal role in the NDC’s record-breaking electoral performance, urging the President to acknowledge their efforts by appointing Professor Dr. Ayensu-Danquah to a ministerial position.

A portion of their statement reads, "We voted massively for the NDC to make history in this constituency because we believed and trusted in your promise to us."
