Alhaji Iddrisu Mahama, former Defence Minister in the erstwhile NDC government at the weekend launched his campaign for the National Chairmanship of the party in the Upper East Region.
Addressing the Upper East executive of the party in Bolgatanga, he said he had no ambitions for the presidential slot of the party. ”My ambition for campaigning for election to be the national chairman of the party is to unify it,” he said and called on supporters of NDC to unite and learn to trust each other, putting the party first instead of individual interests.
Mr. Moses Asaga, MP for Nabdam constituency and a member of the Northern caucus in Parliament, noted that former President Jerry John Rawlings and Dr. Obed Asamoah, were both needed in the party’s quest for unification and added that everything should be done to foster a positive relationship between them. He urged all contestants to see the party emerging from its pending congress as a strong, unified body for the good of the country’s politics.
