PRINCE HENRY
He believes Julius Debrah, an entrepreneur who turned into a politician is competent to unite and lead the party ahead of the 2024 elections.
Earlier, Julius Debrah disassociated himself from speculation that he was being considered as a running mate.
He said he’s not interested in such a position and called on the various interest groups and individuals to desist from giving the flagbearer of the NDC pressure to choose his running mate emphasising that Mahama will make his choice at the right time.
The speculation about Debrah’s potential candidacy for running mate to Mahama began in recent weeks after a number of interest groups and individuals mentioned his name in the media.
Debrah served as Chief of Staff to then-President John Mahama from 2015 to 2017.
Prior to joining active politics, Julius started and developed several businesses in Tourism and Hospitality, Insurance, Automobile Inspectorate, Banking, Construction, Water a Beverages, Real Estate, Broadcasting, and Agricultural Sectors. And continues to work with other entrepreneurs to create more jobs.
In active politics, Julius has held positions as the Propaganda Secretary and the Regional Chairman of NDC in the Eastern Region from 2001-2012.
In public service, he was the Executive Director of the Ghana Tourism Authority (2009-2012), Regional Minister for the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions (2013-2014), Minister for Local Government and Rural Development (2014-2015), and the Chief of Staff to President Mahama (2015-2017).
Julius believes in using practical solutions to solve many of the social problems in Ghana as compared to Textbook solutions which most of the time do not take into consideration some of the societal variables that arise as a result of the constant changes to our social and cultural structure and demography.
He is remembered for his practical solutions to the Street Naming Exercise and National Sanitation Exercises when he was the Minister for Local Government and Rural Development.
As a leader he believes in teamwork and the act of tapping on the potential of his subordinates to achieve results.
His interest in Tourism Development and promotion led him to study Sociology and Archaeology at the University of Ghana and his further studies of Archaeology at the Master’s level with specialization in Museums and Heritage studies.
He has led and conducted many tours in Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, Guinea, Senegal, and The Gambia.
He is one of the most sought-after tour leaders in the tourism circles in West Africa. Subsequently, he became a JICA alumina and studied Sustainable Tourism Development in African Countries at the University of Ryukus in Okinawa, Japan in 2011 under the TICAD IV sponsorship.
