Mahama Dumps Campaign, Takes ‘’My First Coup d’etat’’ Book To Russia For Cash

Former President and flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, who is desperate for power to complete his second term has dumped his campaign tour ahead of the upcoming 7th December polls.
Instead he has has chosen to take his ‘My First Coup D’etat’ book to Russia to launch and raise funds for his campaign.

The former President made public appearance some weeks ago when he stormed the streets of La to interact with locals and traders.

While, the Flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and his freshly outdoored running mate, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh are engaging the electorate on the grounds ahead of December’s Presidential elections, Mahama’s 77-year-old running mate, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang is also missing in action.

This has prevented his party members from also hitting the grounds to campaign on the controversial 24-hour Economy Policy to the electorate, which they are struggling to explain hence taking to social media to launch attacks and insults on the Running Mate of the ruling NPP, Dr. Mattew Opoku Prempreh by tagging him as an ‘’arrogant person’’.

Mr Mahama is currently in Moscow, where he launched the Russian language version of his memoir, ‘My First Coup D’etat and Other Stories from the Lost Decades of Africa’ at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow last night.

As the battle lines for the 2024 general election drawn, the ruling NPP’s formidable pair of Bawumia/Napo will be squaring up with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC’s) once-rejected duo of John Dramani Mahama and Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang in the upcoming 7th December polls.

The pair of former President Mahama and Naana Jane was rejected in the 2020 general election and the two are again on the NDC ticket for 2024 crucial polls.

According to political watchers, this year’s elections will be choosing between the future of the youth and the rejected past.

Political pundits also believe strongly that the nomination of Napo will hugely galvanize the NPP faithful in the party’s stronghold of Ashanti Region to help the party ‘break the 8.’

The NPP Presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who is currently pitching camp in the northern sector for two weeks is leaving no stone unturned in his bid to engage the people of Ghana to vote for him to win the December presidential elections.
Dr. Bawumia’s campaign has so far been consultative, energetic, and grassroots-based as he engages with traditional rulers, and community members through his street-to-street, market, and house-to-house campaign and it is unlikely that he will depart from this routine, considering the enormous impact he made in the first phase of his campaign.
