FORMER NDC VICE CHAIRMAN DEFECTS TO NPP, ENDORSES BAWUMIA’S LEADERSHIP

In a video, Ekpe clarified his choice to switch political allegiances before the crucial 2024 elections, pointing to the effective policies of the NPP as the key factor.

For Ekpe, the NPP’s Free SHS policy completely transformed the game.

“I remember challenging them. I said if they could truly implement Free SHS, I would switch my allegiance,” he revealed.

True to his word, he now finds himself endorsing the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

“Dr. Bawumia’s vision for Ghana is what we need to move forward. His leadership is effective, and the results speak for themselves,” he added.

Ekpe has a strong bond with the NDC. Being raised in the Ashanti Region as an Ewe, he was brought up in a family that highly respected the NDC.

He devoted years of service to the party due to his loyalty, which included leading propaganda campaigns to support their policies.

Reflecting on those years, he shared, “I defended the NDC even in the toughest times, like the dumsor crisis.

“My loyalty cost me dearly, including my film production business. But I stood by them because I believed in the cause.”
