Former President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday November 11 paid separate courtesy visits to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and the Queen Mother, Nana Ama Konadu, at the Manhyia Palace.

This was at the beginning of Day 2 of his six-day campaign in the Ashanti Region.

Interacting with Asantehene, the former president, who is also the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), expressed his satisfaction with the votes obtained from the Region, although it is the bastion of the New Patriotic Party (PNP).

He said the NDC votes in the Region are the third highest for the party in its regional vote tally.

In an earlier warning given by the King of the Asante Kingdom to tell the people what he did while he was president of Ghana, Mr. Mahama described some of his accomplishments:

“I won’t say I did a thousand and one projects,” he said on Twi, “[but] Except for CHPS Compound, what the MMDAs and the toilet projects did, I did a lot with their support. “

He listed the Kejetia market, the Tafo market, the Asawase market, and the Atonsu market as the completed market projects under his administration.

“When it comes to hospitals, we started with Seiwaa Hospital, Afari Military Hospital, Fomena Hospital, Bekwai Hospital, all in the Ashanti region.

“When you hit the roads, [we have] Asawase Roads, Suame Roads, Tafo Roads, Kenyasi Roads, Secondary School Junction to Gyenase Road, Bomso to High School Road, Kotei to Ayeduase to Campus Roads, Emena to Boadi Roads, Apromase to Ejisu, Bonwire Junction to Bonwire Road, Apprede to Prakoso, Tikor Baworo to Antoa Roads, Bekwai Town Roads. “

He cited the Kumasi airport as a major achievement under his supervision, and recounts how he obtained funding for Phase II before leaving office in 2016.

The NDC flag bearer will be in the Region for four more days, having started his campaign tour on Tuesday, November 10.
