The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani
Mahama, is beginning a six-day campaign tour of the Ashanti Region today.
Mr Mahama will pay a courtesy call on the Asantehene on Wednesday at the Manhyia
Palace. He will also interact with zongo chiefs and imams, artisans, cocoa farmers and small scale miners, among others.
During this tour, Mr Mahama will highlight the significant contribution of NDC governments
to the development of the Ashanti Region and its people.
He will also focus on key planks in the People’s Manifesto, the NDC’s manifesto for this
year’s election, such as plans to create decent and sustainable jobs for the youth,
implementation of universal access to healthcare dubbed Free Primary Healthcare, funding
the largest skills empowerment programme under the NDC’s National Apprenticeship
Programme and Free Technical and Vocational Education and Training (Free T-VET).
