Former President John Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has officially presented Daniel Mahama as the party’s parliamentary candidate for the Talensi constituency in the upcoming general elections.

The event took place at a gathering of party supporters and local leaders in Tongo, the capital of the Talensi District in the Upper East Region.

John Mahama praised Daniel Mahama’s dedication to the community and his vision for development in the area.

Daniel Mahama, who is not related to the former president despite sharing a surname, expressed his gratitude for the party’s support and outlined his plans for the constituency if elected.

He emphasized the need for improved infrastructure, better educational facilities, and increased job opportunities for the youth.

The introduction of Daniel Mahama is seen as a strategic move to energize the party’s base in the region and appeal to undecided voters.

Local party officials expressed optimism about their chances in the upcoming election, citing Daniel Mahama’s popularity and the NDC’s track record of development projects in the area.

John Mahama is on tour in the Upper East region. He kickstarted his tour from August 3rd, 2024 to August 6th, 2024. Hopefully, he will tour the 15 constituency in the region.

As many as 8 persons slugged it out in the NDC’s primaries held in the constituency in a bid to secure the nod of the party for the 2024 Elections following the decision of the incumbent MP to step aside.

The 45-year-old custom officer, however, triumphed over the 7 others after securing 250 votes.

Zinekena Solomon T.T.B. followed him with 183 votes while Daraan Nathaniel Kugre and Peter Badmak Yaro polled 178 and 114 votes respectively.

The rest, Awunnore Edward, Dickson Kurug Kpelim-etime, Atiah Martin Aduko and Rockson Aditiba obtained 95, 34, 22 and 11 votes respectively.
