MzBel is one of the many Ghanaian celebrities who campaigned for the NDC and John Dramani Mahama ahead of the 2024 elections.

She mobilised other stars for a door-to-door campaign and was vocal in her support for Mahama, who eventually won and was sworn into office on January 7, 2025.

MzBel should tone down on NDC criticism

Reacting to MzBel's lamentations, head of entertainment news at TV3, Owusu Worae, advised the songstress to be patient with the government.

According to him, President Mahama's government was too young to be saddled with such high expectations from MzBel and others like her.

"There is no denying the fact that MzBel tried her best for Mahama and the NDC, but I think it is too early in the day for such complaints. The government is only about four months old, and it is unfair for anyone to expect everybody to be 'sorted out' as we say.

"And for someone like MzBel, and looking at her history with Mahama and the many rumours, it would be better to keep mute over these things or even channel her grievances to the appropriate quarters without bringing them on social media," he said.

Reactions to MzBel's lamentations about NDC

MzBel's lamentations on Facebook triggered mixed reactions from her followers. While some urged her to bide her time, others criticised her. Below are some of the reactions YEN.com.gh sighted.

Amankwaa Karikari Irene criticised Mzbel's post:

"Since when did the party come to power? Which pressure is on you? Are you the employment minister?? Pressure is on you because you made fake promises to people. Are you the only person who campaigned ?? You should know better, madam. We are very serious this time around."

"Abotare. Jobs are acquired based on one's vocation and skills, competence and availability. Not all can get jobs; however, with time, things will fall into place. This should be the Nation's focus."

Honoured Royal said:

"Like seriously? Look, like we have not witnessed Mahama administration before. They should forget jobs from the government and tell them to do something for thenselves wai. You aren't a leader at all . You only have the fame of abi 16 years hit. Can the government offer every party boy or girl a job. If you are a leader empower them to do something."

Zeeta Awudu said:

"Are you saying whoever campaigned for President John Dramani Mahama must get an appointment??? U should rather pray we get an enabling environment to do our businesses. It's too early, slow down and take your time... The government must be allowed time to settle. Let us rest waii Mzbel."
