NDC supporters 'flood' Kumasi streets for 'Enti Asanteman aseda ni' walk

Supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti region on Sunday morning marched in Kumasi to welcome John Dramani Mahama, who is on a tour of the Ashanti Region as part of the 2024 election campaign. 

Dubbed "Enti Asanteman aseda ni" walk, it was aimed at stressing the call of the NDC for a change of government and a shift from the Ashanti Region’s voting pattern on December 7 election.

Clad in NDC-branded T-shirts, amidst the chanting of slogans and singing of songs in support of John Mahama's 2024 presidential bid and with the sound of vuvuzelas filling the air, the march was expected to end at the Kumasi Jubliee Park.  

Activities 

After the Jubilee Park activity, former President Mahama will proceed to Akumadan in the Offinso North constituency for a community engagement. The NDC will also hold a mini campaign durbar at Offinso Denkyi in the Offinso South constituency.

Later, Mr Mahama will engage with the Barekese community in the Atwima Nwabiagya North constituency. 

He will also meet with supporters in Nyinahin in the Atwima Mponua constituency. Finally, the Kwanwoma community will welcome Mr Mahama in the Atwima Kwanwoma constituency. 

The former president kicked off his campaign in the Ashanti Region on Saturday with a courtesy call on the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, in a meeting. 

The region, a strong hold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and crucial battleground in Ghana's presidential election is the last among the 16 regions in the country that Mr Mahama is visiting on his nationwide campaign tour.

Mr Mahama is expected to spend six days in the region with a packed itinerary.
