I was not paid to endorse Mahama - KOD

Ghanaian media personality and fashion icon Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) has stated that his endorsement of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the upcoming December 7 elections was voluntary and unpaid.

According to him, his endorsement of the party was driven by his belief in Mahama's leadership.

In an interview with Joy FM on August 10, 2024, KOD acknowledged the challenges Mahama's previous tenure faced, particularly the severe power crisis known as "dumsor," but expressed confidence in Mahama's ability to continue his work and address the current issues facing the country.

"I was not invited by anyone to endorse President Mahama. I showed up.

“In the past, people have been paid to do this. I did not get paid a dime. And if it's something I have to do a billion times, I'll do it without thinking twice," KOD stated.

He added, "For where we are now, why don't we just bring the man back to continue where he started?"

KOD declared his support for the NPP in late 2023, the personality expressed disappointment with Akufo-Addo's administration, describing it as one of the most turbulent periods in Ghana's history.

He praised Mahama for resolving the power crisis (dumsor) before leaving office and felt that Mahama should be given the chance to continue his work.

In an interview, KOD said his decision was influenced by Akufo-Addo's call for proactive citizenship and his belief that Mahama, rather than the NPP, could make a significant positive impact on the country.
