Member of Parliament for the Tamale South Constituency in the Northern Region, Hon Haruna Iddrisu, has disclosed that, all five regions in northern Ghana are secured for former President John Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for the 2024 general election.
He said Ghanaians were “fed up” with the leadership of the President Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia-led government and would vote for change come December 2024 with the regions in the north leading the support for that change.
Hon. Iddrisu, a former Minority Leader in Parliament, said this in Wa over the weekend during the Upper West Regional campaign launch of the NDC geared towards wrestling power from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections.
