Ahead of the 2028 general elections, Media practitioner Lawrence Adonis Addo Cheremeh, popularly known as Kojo Addo, has joined the race for Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Jaman South.
He comes into the contest with more than two decades of experience in journalism, media management, political communication, community activities and organisational leadership.
Kojo Addo is an alumnus of the NDC Party School’s Institute of Social Democracy (ISD). He says his involvement with the NDC in Jaman South has also been consistent over the years.
Since 2018, he has supported the NDC , including welfare assistance, communication support, mobilisation and financial contributions towards branch and constituency activities.
During the 2024 general elections, he voluntarily served as a backup election agent and supervisor, giving him first-hand experience in election organisation and grassroots mobilisation.
He says these experiences have strengthened his belief that a strong political organisation must remain connected to its grassroots. Kojo Addo says his decision to contest the Vice Chairmanship is deliberate.
He does not see the position as an opportunity to create another centre of power within the constituency. Rather, he wants to work alongside the Constituency Chairman and the other executives to strengthen the party’s organisation and communication.
“I am offering myself to complement the Chairman and strengthen the Constituency Executive. I want to bring my experience, relationships and energy to the service of the party and the people of Jaman South,” he said.
Kojo Addo , also previously served on the Board of the now-defunct Miss Jaman Beauty Contest and was one of the judges of the competition.
He currently serves as Secretary to the Board of Jaman Nkabom Afahye, where he continues to contribute to the organisation of the community’s cultural and social activities.
For him, these experiences have provided practical lessons in bringing people together, working with different stakeholders and organising community-based activities.
