A newly-appointed Presidential Staffer, Nana Yaa Jantuah, has reaffirmed her loyalty and commitment to the Convention People’s Party (CPP), despite her appointment by President John Dramani Mahama to his government.
Speaking on UTV on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, Nana Yaa Jantuah clarified that her appointment is to serve and represent Ghana, not an indication that she is defecting to join the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party as a card-bearing member.
The former General Secretary stated that she remains a member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP).
“I am representing Ghana but I’m still a member of the CPP,” she boldly stated.
Nana Yaa Jantuah, expressing her gratitude for her appointment, praised the president’s inclusivity agenda, emphasising that it prioritises the expertise and hard work of individuals over political affiliations.
She further stated that her appointment reflects the trust the president has in the people and the systems of the country.
“This is a good sign of inclusivity and that President John Dramani Mahama does not believe in winner takes all. If he is taking me to such a high office, it shows the trust he has in people and in systems. He believes in the hard work of people and does not dwell too much on politics,” she added.
The political stalwart, a former Director of Public Relations and External Affairs at the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), was among those appointed to the Office of the President on January 21, 2025.
She had endorsed the NDC during the lead-up to the recently concluded 2024 general elections.
With her extensive experience in public relations, leadership in the energy and political sectors, and a strong commitment to service, she is considered a valuable addition to the presidency.
