Clergyman, Rev Kweku Addo, has told the story behind his decision to venture into politics and how he won the Ablekuma West Constituency seat for the (NDC) for the first time since the creation of the constituency in 2012.
Speaking in an interview on Metro TV on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Rev Addo narrated how he was encouraged to enter into politics by his relations who believed that he could bring the needed change to the constituency.
He said that he was encouraged to join the NDC by a friend, Humfrey Mensah, who is the son of the late statesman ET Mensah, while he was in the United States.
After attending a few meetings of the party and reading its constitution, he said he came to the realisation that the NDC was not "a bad group." The pastor said that he then decided to contest in the party's primaries in the Ablekuma West constituency in 2019, which he won but lost the main election in 2020.
