In a shocking move, Gifty Klenam, a former two-term Member of Parliament for Lower West Akim, has defected from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). Apexnewsgh reports

Klenam made the announcement on Thursday morning, January 30, 2025, after obtaining her NDC membership card in the Anlo Constituency of the Volta Region.

The former MP revealed that she made the switch after consulting with her family, stating that the NDC’s values and vision align with her own. “Upon consultation with my family, I decided to join the NDC because it aligns with my values and vision for mother Ghana,” she emphasized.

Klenam also expressed confidence in the NDC’s 2024 manifesto, believing it provides the best blueprint for Ghana’s development. She praised John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, asserting that it will transform the country and deliver prosperity to Ghanaians.

Although her exact role in the NDC is unclear, Klenam has signaled her willingness to serve in any capacity. Her immediate focus is to connect with the NDC grassroots, empower them, and ensure they find opportunities within the country rather than seeking greener pastures abroad.

Klenam’s defection has sparked discussions within Ghana’s political landscape, given her prominent status in the NPP. She served in the Fourth and Fifth Parliaments of the Fourth Republic and later as CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Centre (GEPC) in 2017 under the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.
