A flagbearer hopeful on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, will file his nomination to contest the 13th May 2023 primary on Tuesday at 1.00 pm.
Originally planned for Monday, the John Mahama Campaign says it is “very sorry for the postponement, which is in response to a request from the party to reschedule because of the presentation of the party’s True State of the Nation Address on Monday.”
Mr Mahama will, however, continue his first phase tour of the Ashanti Region, which ends today, a statement by the aide to the former President, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, said.
Mr Mahama, who is a one-term former president, is seeking to return to power after he was defeated by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the 2016 and 2020 general elections.
Mr Mahama believes the Akufo-Addo government has put the country into reverse gear.
Below is the full statement from Mahama’s campaign team:
