I won’t let Asanteman down — Mahama

The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has made a promise to voters in the Ashanti Region that he will deliver on his commitments if elected into office on Saturday. 

He said unlike the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) that had taken the electorate in the region’s loyalty for granted, an NDC government under his leadership “won’t let Asanteman down”.

“After going round the region, I have realised that the NPP takes your votes for granted because they believe you will vote for them no matter what, and that is why they have neglected the region in terms of development,” Mr Mahama added.

He urged the electorate to reflect on their current living conditions and vote for change to reset the country and position the economy on the path of growth.

The NDC presidential candidate, who has been on a six-day tour of the region ahead of the election on Saturday, was addressing a group of enthusiastic supporters in Effiduase, around 1 a.m., last Wednesday. 

Engagements

The John Mahama's #Mahama4Change2024 campaign began with a community engagement in Mpatom, in the Manso Nkwanta Constituency, where Mr Mahama addressed party supporters and traditional leaders in the area, sharing his vision for the region.

He expressed his determination to improve the lives of the people by addressing the pressing issues affecting communities, including the poor state of roads.

Mr Mahama also made a stop at Manso Adubia, where his message of hope resonated with the people.

The presidential candidate later met with traditional leaders and party supporters in the Obuasi East Constituency, where he emphasised the importance of effective collaboration between traditional leaders and government.

At Obuasi Zango, in the Obuasi West Constituency, the NDC team interacted with residents and also engaged with the community at Akrofuom, where Mr Mahama outlined his vision for the region.

He also made a stopover at Menang, in the New Edubiase Constituency, and Aboabo in the Adansi Asokwa Constituency, where his message of change and development was received with joy. 

Endorsement

In the Manso Nkwanta Constituency, the National Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Samson Asaki Awingobit, and the flag bearer of the party, Bernard Mornah, openly professed their support for Mr Mahama.

The two, who joined the NDC campaign at Mpatom, in the Manso Nkwanta Constituency, urged the electorate to vote for change.

Mr Mornah said he was optimistic of the victory of the NDC and Mr Mahama in Saturday’s election.

“I am here with the entire leadership of the PNC, and we are here to declare our support for Mr Mahama and the NDC,” he said.
