Former Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama has launched his campaign tour in the Upper East Region, energizing his supporters as he seeks to return to the presidency. Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is determined to win back the seat he lost in the 2016 and 2020 elections to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The tour began with a series of rallies and community engagements aimed at connecting with voters and addressing their concerns. Mahama emphasized his commitment to improving the region’s infrastructure, healthcare, and education, pledging to prioritize the needs of the people in the Upper East.
Speaking at a rally in Bolgatanga, the regional capital, Mahama criticized the current administration for what he described as a lack of development and unfulfilled promises. He assured the crowd that an NDC government under his leadership would bring about tangible improvements and opportunities for all Ghanaians.
“We have seen very little progress in the past few years,” Mahama said. “Our roads are in terrible condition, healthcare facilities are inadequate, and our children are not getting the quality education they deserve. We need a change, and together, we can make it happen.”
Mahama’s message resonated with many in the audience, who expressed their frustrations with the current state of affairs. The former president’s campaign team has been working tirelessly to mobilize supporters and build momentum as the election approaches.
The Upper East Region is considered a stronghold for the NDC, and Mahama’s visit is seen as a strategic move to consolidate his base. During his tour, he met with traditional leaders, opinion leaders, and various community groups to discuss their challenges and seek their support.
In addition to addressing local issues, Mahama outlined his broader vision for Ghana. He promised to focus on job creation, economic stability, and social justice, highlighting his experience and track record as a leader who understands the needs of the people.
“Our country is at a crossroads,” Mahama said. “We need a government that cares about the welfare of its citizens, a government that will invest in our future and ensure that no one is left behind. I am ready to lead that government, and I ask for your support.”
Mahama’s campaign has faced criticism from the ruling NPP, with opponents questioning his ability to deliver on his promises. However, his supporters remain confident that he is the right person to lead Ghana towards a brighter future.
As the campaign tour continues, Mahama is expected to visit other regions, rallying support and building a strong case for his candidacy. The upcoming election is poised to be highly competitive, with both the NDC and NPP vying for the votes of Ghanaians across the country.
