“In a time of governance, he is the one who governs. In a time of noise, he is the one who acts. And when the time comes to pass the baton, Ghana must not look for a stranger to state power. It must turn to the man who already holds it.”
The NDC Is Back. Governance Has Been Restored. Stability Has a Name.
In 2024, Ghanaians made a bold, resolute choice; they returned President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC to power, demanding not just leadership, but correction, restoration, and national healing.
And behind the day-to-day engine of this rebirth, one man quietly ensures the system does not collapse under pressure:
Hon. Julius Debrah, Ghana’s current Chief of Staff.
But he is not just a bureaucrat. He is not merely an administrator. He is the eagle behind the curtain, silent, strategic, and always watching from above.
From the Flagstaff House, He Sees the Nation
Julius Debrah is no outsider to power. He’s in it. Right now.
As Chief of Staff in an NDC government facing high expectations and inherited economic strain, he has become the central command point, the invisible force that turns policy into performance. While others tour the country for future power, he is already managing it.
Ghana does not need to guess who can lead. He’s already doing it, every single day.
2028 Should Not Be a Game of Chance.
It Should Be a Continuation of Governance
Why should the NDC risk the gains made under Mahama by handing over the flag to an untested dreamer or a political opportunist?
Why would we gamble the stability of the state on populism, when we have a calm, focused, experienced pilot already in the cockpit?
With Julius Debrah:
- Continuity is guaranteed
- Competence is proven
- Unity is natural
- Transition becomes transformation
The Most Powerful Office Learns From Him
Chiefs of Staff are the brain trust of presidencies. They handle crises before the public ever sees them. They coordinate ministers, guard presidential time, and run the invisible machinery of government.
So ask yourself. If Julius Debrah has been entrusted to manage a whole presidency, why shouldn’t he manage a nation of his own in 2028?
To the Ambitious Within the NDC: Step Back So the Party Can Move Forward
2028 is not the time for internal fragmentation. It is the time to prepare a strong, seamless succession from Mahama to someone who won’t undo the progress, but deepen it.
Some people come to power by chance. Others by campaign.
But Julius Debrah is already in the arena of power not as a spectator, but as a strategist.
And like the eagle, he does not fight on the ground. He waits, watches, and when the time is right, he rises.
Let the Eagle Fly. Let Debrah Lead.
The NDC is already in power. Let’s secure the future with a leader who knows power, uses it wisely, and can protect it.
Julius Debrah is not waiting to learn governance. He is perfecting it.
When the time comes, Ghana will not need a learner. It will need a leader.
And that leader is already in the Flagstaff House.
