Former MP Gifty Klenam Defects to NDC, Cites Long-Term Vision for Ghana

Gifty Klenam, the former Member of Parliament for Lower West Akim in the Eastern Region on the ticket of national democratic congress, has made a significant political shift by joining the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The former lawmaker made this announcement during an interview on Joy Prime, where she explained the core reasons behind her decision.

Klenam expressed that her defection was driven by strong principles, emphasizing that the NDC possesses the human resources and long-term vision needed to steer Ghana toward sustainable development over the next 20 to 30 years. She firmly believes that the NDC’s plans for the country align with her personal convictions regarding national development.

“To me, it’s about principle. The NDC has the human resources to lead and develop Ghana for the next 20 to 30 years,” Klenam stated during the interview, which was monitored by mrwoode.com.

Her decision, though surprising to some, is rooted in her belief that the NDC is better positioned to lead the nation in the long run. Klenam’s political journey has seen her contest elections under various platforms, including as a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and as an independent candidate. However, her recent move to the NDC represents a clear endorsement of the party’s vision and governance strategy for Ghana.

Klenam’s shift comes at a time when political dynamics in the country are in full swing, with the upcoming elections drawing attention to the changing allegiances of political figures. While critics may argue that her move aligns with the NDC’s growing influence, Klenam remains unwavering in her belief that her decision is not based on short-term political advantage, but rather on a commitment to long-term national development.

“It shouldn’t be difficult for people to follow suit,” she said, urging others to understand her decision as one driven by a genuine desire to see Ghana thrive.

Her defection to the NDC is expected to make an impact in the political landscape, particularly in the Eastern Region where she has previously been a significant figure. As Klenam joins the NDC, many are keen to see how her political experience will contribute to the party’s objectives moving forward.

This bold move highlights the evolving nature of Ghanaian politics and the shifting dynamics ahead of the upcoming elections.
