Former President John Dramani Mahama has called on members and supporters of the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) to discard the notion that some constituencies, especially
in the Ashanti Region, are strongholds of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Addressing delegates of the Bantama constituency at Bantama in the Ashanti Region, as part of his flagbearership campaign tour of the region, Mr Mahama said Ghanaians now look out for a government that will make their lives better and not just love for certain political parties or
traditions.
He further said despite the lofty promises of the NPP during their days in opposition, they have
saddled Ghanaians with untold hardships after nearly two years in government.
Touching on number of people who have been laid off as a result of the government’s harsh
economic policies, Mr Mahama noted that it is unlikely that those who have lost their jobs will
still rally behind the NPP after the government has facilitated the collapse of their businesses
and employment.
“So we should discard the notion that some places are strongholds of the NPP and therefore we
cannot win those places. What the voter is looking for is the party that will govern the country
properly and give them a good standard of living, as the previous NDC government was doing”,
he said.
Mr Mahama was of the view that with hard work, unity and determination, the NDC will be able
to win more votes in the Ashanti Region in the next general elections.
He has therefore charged members of the party, especially the constituency and branch
executives, to help unite the party for victory in the 2020 elections.
Mr Mahama said, when elected, he will work hard to provide jobs and reduce the high cost of
living in the country.
He has also promised to help constituencies own their offices, compile a database of the human resource capacity of NDC members as well as roll out a mentorship programme for the youth of the party.

What made Mahama think he can win in the region he went to talk that sh*t, was he talking to Anita De Sooso or Papa J, because he shouldn't take Ashantis to be f000*00l John mahama has no shame how can you insult them that even if you, if you construct their roads with Gold they will never appreciate like the funds being used was from his pocket and this guy never apologized to the people of Ashanti but rather went there again to insult them that there is no stronghold anywhere but policies what policy did you mahama implemented to help the people? the airport that you inflated the contract sum to pocket or what? what exactly did you do to help for you to talk about policy! 2020 your defeat will be more than 2016! There is no country that hasn't got a stronghold where they get more votes and this will never convince them,even in America there are Blue states and Red states so what are you talking about ?this shows your naivety in politics ! Even Osagyefo couldn't win their hearts because of ideological difference how much more you an insulting former president. Very irritating person, why are you so desperate like that? in power with all the machinery at your disposal Ghanaians booted you out in an unprecedented humiliating way how do you convince them with your empty hand for them to vote for you!
Did people from the Voter-Region hear that from Mahama?
Na lie Mahama. Your eyes will see canann but your foot will never step there again. You are talking out of desperation. God wants you to spend all the corrupt money you saved for the past 8yrs and disgrace you as well. Your defeat in 2020 will be more serious and disgrace than 2016. Dr. Corrupt and incompetent Mahama
ok so the volta region is no more a stronghold right. You will see principalities in 2020 elections. Keep talking for now and make a premature ejaculation of your campaign.
