As flagbearer, John Dramani has received the entire support of all NDC Lawmakers in Parliament.
Former Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, former NDC Campaign Manager for the 2020 general elections Professor Joshua Alabi, and former Minister of Communication Kofi Totobi Quakyi were also present at the meeting.
In the upcoming days, it is anticipated that the former president would make a public announcement.
John Dramani Mahama received a petition on Monday from the heads of four unions, including the Motor Riders Union, Real Drivers Union, Concerned Drivers Union, and Abossey Okai Spare-part Dealers Association, urging him to run for president.
The unions believe that John Dramani Mahama would be the best candidate to address the country’s present economic issues if he were to be elected president.
Ghanaians want a change in leadership that will lead to a turnaround of the economy, according to Setsofia Quashie, the Public Relations Officer of the Motor Riders Association, who delivered the petition to the former President’s office.
