President John Dramani Mahama has said there is every indication he will win the 2016 presidential elections in the first round of polls, obviating the need for a run-off.

Speaking with Ural Radio, a local radio station in the Upper East Region, he explained that he was confident of victory because “we will be able to achieve a first round victory…” insisting: “There is no event that we will be going into a second round; from what I am seeing scientifically, plus or minus any margin of error, we will make 50 per cent plus.”

He added that the NDC is “looking at issues of concern to people in different regions and so the campaign message is tailored to address the concerns we find in any particular region and the response we have got is very enthusiastic”, saying: “Wherever we go, I have been warmly welcomed.”

Mr Mahama also assured that the Tamale Airport would contribute significantly to the growth of the economy.
