The son of the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Charles Asiedu, Member of Parliament for the Tano South Constituency, has explained why his father has consistently emerged victorious in elections he contests.
According to Charles Asiedu, his father does not enter electoral contests without first doing an assessment.
He disclosed that Asiedu Nketia carefully assesses the position he intends to contest, his track record in his current position and the strengths he possesses that could enable him to perform.
The Tano South MP added that once his father completes his assessment and becomes convinced that he is ready to contest, he approaches the election with confidence, notwithstanding the strength or identity of his opponent.
Charles Asiedu disclosed that his father’s careful approach to elections is one of the major reasons he has been able to maintain his winning record in the various elections he enters.
Speaking on Neat FM on August 20, 2026, the Tano South MP, stated, “The reason Asiedu Nketiah contests elections and does not lose is that he carefully assesses where he is going, the work he has done and his strengths in the position he seeks to contest. Once he has made all these assessments and decides to contest, no matter who his opponent is, he will emerge victorious”.
“I think my father could make a good President of Ghana because, if you look at the work he has done to support the NDC and the country in general, and if the time is right, God wills it, the people of Ghana support him, and he himself believes the time is right, he would be a perfect President for Ghana,” he noted.
In related news, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has refused to rule out contesting for the flagbearership position of his party.
According to Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, he would make his intentions known when the time was right, adding that his political options remain wide open.
He argued that ambition was an essential part of politics, adding that politicians without ambition are in the wrong profession.
Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah stated, “Ambition is a very useful thing in politics. If you are a politician and you have no ambition, you are in the wrong profession”.
“I have told you how I would clearly declare it when the time is up for me to do so,” he said.
“How do you hide pregnancy? If you hide your intention to contest for a position, how do you campaign?” he asked.
When directly asked by the host whether he personally aspired to become President, the NDC Chairman stated, “Is the time up? That is the question I’m asking you. Wait till my time is up, and then I will let you know”.
“Sitting here, I can choose to become the next national organiser of NDC. There is no law that bars me. I can choose to become a general secretary again, and contest with my brother and very good friend Fifi Kwetey.
“I can decide to remain the national chairman, and I can decide to contest and go back to parliament. I can decide to be the presidential candidate, and so all these are options that are open.”
“There will be nothing wrong with that. You need to keep people guessing. Guessing is also part of the game.”
When pressed again on whether he was deliberately refusing to rule out a presidential bid, Asiedu Nketiah stated, “No, no, no, no, no. I have never ruled any position out in my life. I’m not ruling any position out.”
