In the post shared on his official Instagram page, Asiedu Nketia sat beside his then-ageing mother, seated and having a chat.
Sharing the photo, he paid a heartfelt tribute to his late mother ahead of Mother's Day, saying the values she instilled in him decades ago continue to shape who he is today.
The NDC Chairman remembered his mother, affectionately known as Kwaa, who passed away on May 2, 2014, describing her influence as one of the most enduring forces in his life.
"Many of life's most important lessons are learned long before their full meaning is understood," he said.
He listed four lessons his mother taught him that have stayed with him through the years: put God at the centre of everything, never give up in the face of difficulty, respect every person regardless of their background, and always do what is right, even when no one is watching.
It is that last lesson, perhaps, that carries the most weight for a man who has spent decades navigating Ghana's most competitive and unforgiving political terrain.
Asiedu Nketia said his mother's quiet guidance has continued to influence not just his personal life but his approach to leadership, long after her passing.
The tribute comes ahead of this Sunday's Mother's Day celebration, a moment that for many Ghanaians is as much about remembering those who are gone as it is about celebrating those still here.
For the NDC chairman, the two are the same thing.
