Two persons have been confirmed dead in Tamale on the arrival of President John Dramani Mahama.
According to Mashoud Maxwell, a freelance journalist, the deceased crashed into a car at the Tamale Airport junction in a rush to take a glimpse of the president.
Reckless riding of motorbikes in the Tamale metropolis is characteristic of all the political parties� youth during the arrival of their flagbearers.
President Mahama arrived in Tamale Monday afternoon to begin his �thank you tour� of the Northern region.
He has already visited the Central, Western, Volta and Brong Ahafo regions to say �thank you� to Ghanaians following their support during the funeral and burial rites of President John Evans Atta Mills.
