Kafui Danku during a visit to then First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo
Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), Kafui Danku has revealed that she officially joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC) just a few months before the 2024 general elections.
Speaking in an interview on Joy FM on April 12, 2025, Kafui explained that although she had long supported community initiatives on her own, she only made her political alignment official recently.
“I used to support people in my community, just doing what I could to help those working towards change,” she said. “But the stress and frustration I experienced because of the government at the time pushed me to take a stand.”
Her political decision has sparked some public interest, especially since she was previously seen with members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), including then First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo. Some had assumed she was aligned with the previous ruling party.
However, Kafui said her decision to join the NDC was based on her admiration for the party’s openness to young people and women in leadership.
“They give a lot of opportunities to women and young people. No one has ever come forward so boldly to support female leadership the way they do,” she said.
“That kind of message — telling girls and women they can do more — is powerful and inspiring.”
