Former President John Dramani Mahama is set to commence the Greater Accra leg of his nationwide “Thank You” tour today, with a major durbar scheduled at the Old Ghanata Astro Turf in Dodowa. This tour, a significant part of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) post-election outreach, aims to personally acknowledge the overwhelming support the party received in the December 2024 general elections.
Scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m., the Dodowa event will draw chiefs, traditional leaders, party loyalists, youth groups, and members of the public from across the region. The durbar is expected to be a vibrant affair, blending cultural displays with political speeches, as Mahama seeks to reconnect with his base and reinforce the party’s vision for the coming years.
Resetting Ghana: Mahama’s Message of Renewal and Commitment
As part of his address, President Mahama is expected to revisit key promises from the NDC’s #ResettingGhana manifesto, with a focus on infrastructure, youth empowerment, job creation, and healthcare. He is also anticipated to address pressing regional concerns, outlining plans for economic recovery and social progress in the post-election period.
Local organisers have ensured that the venue is well-prepared, with sound systems, security, and seating arrangements set to accommodate the anticipated crowd. Chiefs and traditional rulers will be given a place of honour, underscoring the importance of tradition and community in the political process.
Building Momentum for the Future
For the people of Greater Accra, this durbar presents an opportunity to engage directly with the NDC leader, share their concerns, and reaffirm their political commitment. It also serves as a reminder of the critical role the region plays in the national political landscape, having delivered a decisive victory for the NDC in the last election.
As President Mahama continues his tour, the event in Dodowa stands as a powerful symbol of gratitude and unity, reinforcing the shared vision of a “better Ghana” that underpins his leadership.
