Bolewura Sarfo Kutuge Feso I has charged his chiefs and the people of the Bole Traditional Area to lead the campaign for their kinsman, John Dramani Mahama, as President in the 2024 elections.
Speaking during a courtesy call on him by Mr Mahama, the paramount chief of Bole stated that there is a clear difference between a friend and a relative.
He urged his sub-chiefs and subjects to ensure that Mahama and the NDC secure nothing less than 75% of total votes in the Bole area.
According to Bolewura, the 2024 election is also about empowering the chieftaincy institution, especially in Gonjaland, and John Mahama is the leader who can guarantee that empowerment for Gonja chiefs.
The chief also expressed his delight in welcoming his son, yet again, to his palace because he was concerned for the development of Bole and the Savannah region.
“… This is the point we’ve reached; it is time to bring back honour to Bole and Gonjaland by leaving no stone unturned to bring prestige to the Bole Traditional Area”, he added.
Mahama spent the first three days of the new year in his hometown of Bole. During his stay, he organised a get-together for the Savanna regional and constituency executives.
With the support of his wife, Lordina, the Mahama family also provided hot meals for children and held meetings with the branch executives of the Bole Constituency of the NDC.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has indicated that ensuring the party is governed based on principle and equity is far more important than winning any particular constituency in an election.
Speaking in an interview on an Accra-based radio station, he said according to the recommendation in the Doe Adjaho Committee report, because of the division within the constituency, the National Head Quarters must take over the process and therefore that is what is being done.
“The candidate in the number two position will move to number 1 and the number 3 will move to number two and then the delegates will decide on one of them. The winner will then become our candidate.”
Mr. Johnson Aiedu Nketiah therefore, called on Mr. Michael Nii Yarboi Annan and his supporters to abide by the rules of the party if they truly love the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He urged all party supporters to support whoever emerges as the winner and for that matter Parliamentary Candidate for the Odododiodio Constituency, so they can win the seat for the NDC, adding that after NDC has won the elections, there will be more opportunities for all.
He stressed that Mr. Nii Yarboi is a registered member of the party; therefore, if he is qualified for any position, the party will ensure that he is given his due. Read full story here >>>>
