NDC National Elections: Disassociate my name from any aspirants- Mahama

The Former President of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, John Dramani Mahama has cautioned some members to desist from associating his name to aspirants vying for the chairmanship position of the party.

The NDC will be electing contestants vying for the National chairman and General Secretary positions into office as the race has gradually become much stronger because the contestants vying for those positions stands tall in the party this weekend.

Former President John Dramani Mahama wishes to once again caution, in the strongest terms, aspirants and their campaigners who deliberately continue to associate his name with their campaign.

As has been publicly stated by Mr. Mahama, he has no preference and has not endorsed any candidate in the ongoing NDC national executive elections, which climaxes on Saturday at the 10th National Delegates Congress.

Mr. Mahama has noted the attempt by some candidates to push a narrative, despite his previous cautions, that he supports their candidature.

Of paramount interest to President Mahama is Victory for the NDC in 2024 to work with expectant and suffering Ghanaians to “Build the Ghana We Want.”

He, like other supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will work with whoever the delegates choose and elect.

Meanwhile, the Office of HE John Dramani Mahama condemns a publication in a tabloid newspaper that the family of the former President is in support of one of the aspirants for National Chairman of the NDC.

The said claim and the publication are false, and the rank and file of the party are encouraged to disregard them.
