Former President John Dramani Mahama is expected to lead the 24-hour Economy Walk scheduled for Wednesday, 24th January 2024. The walk, originally planned for December 2023, was suspended due to the District Level Elections.

The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region in a statement signed by its Secretary, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, said all is set for the walk aimed at sensitizing the inhabitants of the region on the policy. The NDC leadership mentioned that the walk will be led by former President John Dramani Mahama, the party’s National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, members of the NDC’s National Executive, and regional executives headed by the regional Chairman Augustus Andrews Nana Akwasi.

According to the NDC leadership, procession will be held on the principal streets of the Kumasi metropolis, and attendees will finally converge at the Kumasi Jubilee Park, where speakers, including the NDC’s flagbearer, John Mahama, will address them.

“The planned route for the walk is as follows: Aboabo Post Office, through Pelele to On-the-ran to Manhyia Hospital, proceeding to Alabar Street, Kejetia Roundabout, Hello FM, A-life, Asafo Overpass, Labour Roundabout, and concluding at Jubilee Park,” the statement added.

The NDC flagbearer will also proceed with his Building the Ghana We Want Tour, where he will engage with various sectors of the community, including traders, organized labour, artisans and students.

Ghanaians will be making a crucial decision on December 7, 2024 by determining who takes the mantle from Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, when he would have served his two term as president of the republic.

In view of that, the two major political parties; the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a presumed third force, Movement for Change (MFC) have settled on their presidential candidates for the December 2024 crucial presidential election.

All three candidates, John Dramani Mahama, a former President (NDC), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the current Vice President (NPP) and Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, former Minister of Trade and Industry, appear poised to battle it out in what political watchers say would be a very complex contest on all fronts.
