The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called on party supporters to rally behind the number “8” position on the ballot paper, stating that he has “arrested” it and it is now in his custody.
Interacting with traders and residents at the Kokompe Spare Parts Market in Darkuman in the Ablekuma North Constituency in the Greater Accra Region on Friday [Sept 27, 2024], where he also addressed a mini rally, Mr Mahama teased those he said previously claimed they could “break” the number 8, saying they should now come to him, as he’s the rightful holder of that number.
“The person who was claiming he will break the 8 should break it and let’s see, the eight is with me, I have arrested the eight,” Mr Mahama said, to cheers and chants from the crowd.
Third phase
The former President’s campaign entered its third phase in the Greater Accra Region, with a packed itinerary of community engagements and durbars.
He began by interacting with traders at the Kokompe Spare Parts Market where he listened to their concerns and shared his vision for the country ‘s development.
