Elections for the NDC’s presidential candidate for 2024 in the Manhyia South Constituency have been postponed by the NDC’s Functional Executive Committee (FEC).
The choice was made during a meeting on April 25.
It’s not clear why this is.
Manhyia South, a district in the Ashanti Region, is thought to be a stronghold for two of the candidates, Dr. Kwabena Duffour and Kojo Bonsu, who are both natives of the Region.
John Dramani Mahama, a former president, is being challenged by the two.
The FEC also decided to postpone the parliamentary primaries in 15 districts, including Manhyia South, at the meeting.
A new date will be chosen for the elections in those constituencies, according to a press release signed by Deputy General Secretary Barbra Serwaa Asamoah.
On Saturday, May 13, all other voters will cast their ballots.
In a related news, John Dramani Mahama has taken a lot of heat from former National Democratic Congress (NDC) deputy general secretary Koku Anyidoho.
He is now threatening dire consequences for Ghana if the former president wins the elections in 2024.
On April 26, 2023, the former deputy general secretary of the NDC claimed that Ghana would be cursed if Mr. Mahama were to hold the Sword of State for a third time.
Koku Anyidoho claimed that the former president’s desire to run for office again is motivated by “greed.”
“Let’s not allow John Mahama to curse Ghana with his greedy agenda,” Mr Koku Anyidoho tweeted.
Meanwhile, to meet former president John Mahama at Sehwi Juaboso in the Western North Region on Wednesday, thousands of NDC supporters defied torrential downpours and heavy rain.
The former president, who is currently the NDC’s presumptive presidential candidate, was in the area for a two-day visit to inform the local delegates of his intentions.
The Juaboso constituency chairman told Adom News on Wednesday that they defied the rain to meet Mr. Mahama as a sign of their devotion to both the party and him.
