Ewura Adams Karim picks forms to contest NDC Deputy Communications Officer position

Ewura Adams Karim has officially chosen to run for the position of Deputy National Communications Officer within the National Democratic Congress (NDC). In his announcement, he expressed his commitment to enhance the party's communication strategy, empower local communicators, and improve the party's ability to counter opposition propaganda. Karim connected his decision to run to his lifelong affiliation with the NDC, citing his family's deep-rooted support for the party and the values he learned from his parents.

Born into a politically engaged family, Karim's father, Alhaji Seidu Karim, served as a district chief executive and was active in politics during former President Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings' tenure. His mother was a member of the 31st December Women’s Movement, which focused on women's mobilisation and political participation in northern Ghana. Karim highlighted his father's political experiences, which instilled in him the importance of service, sacrifice, and giving ordinary citizens a voice in national affairs.

Karim's professional background includes public speaking, student leadership, broadcasting, and international engagements. He served as utility prefect at T.I. AMASS, Ashanti Regional SRC Vice President, and Speaker of the SRC General Assembly at the University of Ghana, where he was named the Most Influential Student. Additionally, Karim represented Ghana at the Hult Prize regional finals and the African Union at 50 debates, and he won the Presenter of the Year award at Class FM. He also works with WoezorTV, demonstrating his expertise in communication and engagement.

Beyond political and communication pursuits, Karim is the co-founder and executive director of the Maltiti Foundation, which has trained women in agriculture, provided free healthcare to more than 8,000 people, and delivered food to over 2,000 families across the Northern, Savannah, and Oti regions. He also initiated vocational skills training for girls in Saboba and reproductive health education for Kayayei women and girls.

These efforts have earned him international recognition, including selection as an Obama Africa Leader, Mandela Washington Fellow, and WEXFO Young Expert.

Speaking about the needs of the NDC, Karim outlined three key communication priorities: building hope among grassroots members, effectively communicating the government's achievements to undecided voters, and countering opposition propaganda with fact-based responses. If elected as Deputy National Communications Officer, Karim pledged to implement a five-point agenda focused on strengthening rapid response, training communicators across Ghana, amplifying grassroots voices, expanding digital and youth engagement, and promoting party unity.
