Michael Blackson has officially declared that he is now a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The Ghanaian-American comedian made the declaration after the John Dramani Mahama-led government announced GH¢6.081 billion in Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) coupons to be settled.
Following the directive by the president, Blackson took to X, formerly known as Twitter to express his gratitude.
He stated that the payment would mean so much for the children enrolled on his free school.
Blackson wrote: “Look at God, this is a very great start for all bondholders. As of today, I’m officially a member of the NDC party. Mahama, you just put a smile on the faces of the kids at my free school.”

This comes a few months after Michael Blackson complained about his inability to access his money after investing in Eurobonds.
Airing his frustration in September 2024, the popular comedian disclosed that bought the bonds intending to support his school, the Michael Blackson Academy in Agona Nsaba.
During that period, he accused the past Nana Akufo-Addo government of stealing his investment.
“Who’s the minister of finance in Ghana? I have beef with this guy. People of the diaspora decided to invest in our continent, and they used our money to pay their debt, giving us two options. Either take a 37% cut and receive 5% interest with an 11-year maturity date or no cut but 1.9% interest with a 15-year maturity date. I’m very disappointed in my people for this,” he complained.
