The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ketu South has elected a new face to lead its women’s wing, in a historic vote that has energized the base and redefined youth leadership in the party.
Xornam Favour Alayi-Hussey, popularly known as and traditionally known as Mama Dzewoe II, has been elected as the Ketu South Constituency Women’s Organizer.
She makes history as the youngest Constituency Women’s Organizer in the party at age 30.

Xornam’s rise has been steady and intentional. At just 26 years old, she was voted into office as the Ketu South Constituency Deputy Women’s Organizer, where she served for four years.
During her tenure as deputy, she became known for grassroots mobilization and social interventions:

– Restoring livelihoods — donating sewing machines and cash support to women whose businesses were affected by theft
– Turning her 30th birthday celebration into community service by supporting inmates and police officers across the constituency
In radio interviews, she has consistently spoken about accountability, trust, and leaving a lasting legacy for women in the constituency.

The declaration was stamped by the Electoral Commission, Ketu South Municipality, Denu.
Her campaign slogan, “Resetting the Women’s Wing for Development and Progress” ran on a message of unity and empowerment, and her vetting on September 26, 2026 drew hundreds of supporters under the banner “Team Xornam”.
Vision: Beyond Politics
