John Mahama to launch 2024 presidential campaign in Ho on March 2

Former President, John Dramani Mahama, will launch his 2024 flagbearer campaign in Ho on 2nd March, 2023. That is according to a widely circulated artwork, issued by the former President’s office.

The launch is expected to take place in the morning at the Cedi Auditorium of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), where Mr Mahama will officially set the tone for his 2024 presidential ambitions.

Earlier, John Mahama announced his intentions to contest the 2024 presidential elections after being defeated in the last two elections held in 2016 and 2020.

However, the former President believes that he has what it takes to help salvage the country from its current economic crisis.

This conviction, has however been ridiculed by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) who say Mr Mahama has nothing new to offer.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, February 22, the NPP’s Director of Communication, Richard Ahiagbah, said his outfit is not intimidated by Mahama’s intentions.

According to him, Mr Mahama did not give a good account of himself while in office, but rather subjected Ghanaians to untold hardship; including the one-time power fluctuations, termed ‘dumsor’.

Mr Ahiagbah added that Mahama’s announced return does not threaten the fortunes of the New Patriotic Party in any way.

Meanwhile, the 2020 campaign manager of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Joshua Alabi says Ghanaians are yearning for the party to take over governance of the country.

According to him, the calls for the NDC to return to power is due to the poor performance of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The veteran educationist made these remarks while leading a team of party faithful to pick nomination forms for former President John Mahama at the NDC headquarters in Accra, February 22.

In his address, he indicated that the NDC and John Mahama are poised to rescue the country from its current economic difficulties.
