These entertainers are working in an organized and active way towards the goal of the party for this year’s election. Zionfelix.net names 13 celebrities you might not know have jumped behind NDC.

For John, he must be given the captain band for this squad because he has made everybody aware of his support for the party. He even joined the executives of the party to give a speech during their recent campaign launch in Cape Coast.
Mr. Beautiful
One person who has suffered for joining NDC when it comes to their career is Clement Bonney aka Mr. Beautiful. Four years ago, he declared his support and since then, he has featured in few Kumawood movies. Beautiful has not had a change of mind. He has been with the president to many regions campaigning ahead of this year’s election.
Kwame Dzokoto
It didn’t come as surprise to many when comic actor Kwame Dzokoto decided to stand for Parliamentary Candidate for the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency, ahead of the 2016 general elections on the ticket of NDC.
