Broadcast journalist with Media General, Roland Walker, has reportedly been appointed as the Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Social Media Team ahead of the country's upcoming elections.

This information was disclosed by a communicator and social media activist for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Abdul Rauf Ibrahim.

In what appeared to be a congratulatory message on the X platform, Abdul Rauf Ibrahim, alleged that Mr Walker managed to secure the role by deliberately making the ruling party unpopular and attacking NPP flagbearer, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia during his line of work.

According to Abdul Rauf Ibrahim, the journalist was allegedly tasked by the NDC flagbearer, former President John Mahama and the opposition party's Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, to tarnish the image of the Vice President.

"Congratulations to Roland Walker of TV3 for his appointment as the Director of the NDC Social Media Team. Man has truly worked hard for this appointment. He was tasked by John Mahama and Sammy Gyamfi to throw his profession to the Dogs and attack Dr. Bawumia and the NPP at any given opportunity for this appointment," he wrote.

As it stands now, the seasoned journalist who has acted as a fixer for the BBC, DW-TV, VDF - Germany, CBS and ESPN has not come out to make any such announcement regarding his support for any political party.
