Kevin Ekow Baidoo Taylor, the host of the ‘With all due respect’ show and a controversial social media commentator, journalist, and CEO of Loud Silence Media, is publicly campaigning for Mr. Japhet Festus Gbede, a deputy communications aspirant in the upcoming National Democratic Congress Constituency election.
Mr. Taylor, a critic of corrupt government officials in a Facebook post on his official social media page two days ago encouraged delegates and the Akatsi South NDC to vote for Mr. Japhet Festus Gbede, less than 24 hours after news of his candidacy for the position of deputy communications officer swept social media.
Part of his statement added, “Kindly give this young man, Japhet Festus Gbede, a chance to become the NDC’s Deputy Constituency Communication Officer in Akatsi South.”
He went on to add that Japhet has demonstrated passion, zeal, commitment, and, above all, humility over these years on the NDC course.
Mr. Japhet has been an active member of the NDC’s communications team in the Akatsi South Constituency for several years and is well-known for representing the party on major media platforms in the region.
Japhet Festus Gbede was the NDC’s Young Democrats’ National Communications Director.
He served as the Volta Regional Representative for Sammy Gyamfi’s 2018 campaign team.
Currently, Japhet is also an aide to the National Vice Chairman of the National Democratic Congress and the Ward coordinator for Wuxor, Have, and Sremanu electoral areas.
He works as a blogger, graphic designer, web developer, and biostatistics assistant.
Prior to the election, Japhet stated in his letter of intent going viral on social media that the NDC’s communication machinery in the Akatsi South Constituency needed to be re-positioned with technocrats, committed, hard-working, fearless and vibrant communicators in order for the party to reclaim political power.
