Ghanaian musician and outspoken NDC supporter Mzbel has revealed that she is under intense pressure from people she promised jobs during the 2024 election campaign, claiming the party has failed to honour assurances given to her.
Speaking in an interview on Aluta FM with host Fiifi Pratt, Mzbel said she was promised numerous job opportunities for her campaign team and supporters, many of whom are highly educated and hold university degrees.
Based on those assurances, she also promised them employment once the NDC assumed office.
However, she says none of those promises have been fulfilled.
“I was promised a lot of jobs, and in turn I promised a lot of people jobs. I told them that once the government comes to power, any job they want, they will get.
“But since the NDC came into power, I haven’t heard anything,” she said.

Mzbel disclosed that her car is filled with “hundreds of brown envelopes” containing job applications from hopeful supporters, yet she has no answers for them.
“When I ask, I’m told they are still sorting things out. So I’m waiting. When things get sorted out, I hope they’ll attend to me,” she added.
The musician says the pressure has become overwhelming, and her attempt to speak publicly about it was met with backlash from party insiders.
“The last time I went on social media to talk about this, someone called to blast me that I was embarrassing the party.
“Most of the party people feel I am a troublemaker, so I don’t have the right to talk,” she revealed.
Mzbel lamented that the same individuals who freely communicated with her during the campaign now either avoid her or speak to her disrespectfully.
“But after the elections, I call them and they talk to me rudely,” she added.
She appealed to the people she had promised jobs to understand her situation, stressing that she has not been given any position, money, or resources.
“So I’m pleading with those I promised jobs. I haven’t been given anything. No money, no jobs,” she emphasised.
