POLITICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Dr Kwabena Adjei can be credited with several unique achievements as an executive appointee and a NDC party man from 1987 to date:

  1. He was instrumental in stabilizing the governance of the Volta Region where appointee changes had become the order of the day and a destabilizing force in the Volta Region before 1987.
  2. He discharged his obligations as a Deputy Minister or as a substantive Minister wherever he was appointed. Among other things, he:
    a. restructured any ministry he was posted to;
    b. formulated policy for the ministry; and
    c. enhanced spirit de corps in the ministry.
  3. He was instrumental in diffusing the time bomb planted by the breakaway Reform Party to weaken or disintegrate the NDC around 1998-99.
  4. He led the NDC to resurrect from its slumber and shutters in opposition to a sweet marginal electoral victory in 2009.
  5. He again led the NDC to retain power in 2012.
  6. He has played a neutralist leadership role to ensure that the NDC survives, unites and elaborates itself.
  7. He has delegated functions to and allowed his subordinate officers to enact their roles without hindrance, thereby permitting them to demonstrate their political and other potentials.
  8. He has been conferred the International award of Millennium Development Ambassador by the United Nations, August 2013.
