For decades, he has been at the forefront of political battles, steering his party through challenges with skill and dedication. At a time when political consistency is rare, Asiedu Nketiah remains a symbol of discipline, perseverance, and institutional memory.
A Lifetime of Service to the NDC
Few politicians in Ghana have dedicated their entire lives to a single political tradition like Asiedu Nketiah. From his early days as a Member of Parliament for Wenchi West to his remarkable 17-year tenure as General Secretary of the NDC and now his role as National Chairman, his loyalty has never wavered.

To many, he represents the fighting spirit of the Ghanaian people — unafraid, bold, and relentless.
Champion of Grassroots Politics
