Lovebirds in NDC politics? Dafeamekpor's birthday message to Ebi Bright sets social media ablaze

Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor shared a birthday message on his X page on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. The message included elegant photographs of Ebi Bright. Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor wrote, "A very Special Happy Birthday wishes to this brilliant woman, a sweet wife and a wonderful mother. From the entire family, we wish you good health & the fortitude of mind to continue to transform your beloved Tema, as Mayor. Tons of Love & a mighty hug from me & the kids.…"

The post triggered widespread reactions across social media platforms within minutes. Many users expressed surprise that the Tema Mayor and the Majority Chief Whip may be a couple. The phrase "sweet wife and wonderful mother" became the focal point of discussion. Some viewed the reactions as an unnecessary intrusion into the private lives of public officials.

Before the birthday message, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor had emerged as one of Ebi Bright's fiercest defenders during the fiercely contested Tema Central parliamentary election petition and related legal disputes that followed the 2024 general elections. At the height of the controversy surrounding Ms. Bright's victory, the South Dayi MP stood almost shoulder-to-shoulder with her in the political arena, mounting aggressive legal and public arguments in defence of her mandate. At the time, many interpreted his unwavering support as party solidarity and professional commitment.
