Former President and NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has thrown shots at his main opponent, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, over the latter's 'return' to the Ashanti region.

In a video spotted by GhanaWeb on social media, Mahama, who began his Ashanti Regional tour on November 30, 2024, revealed that his campaign team had deliberately waited for Dr. Bawumia to complete his tour in the region before announcing their campaign dates to avoid potential conflicts.

However, he accused Dr. Bawumia of returning to the region when the dates were announced.

"Our campaign team knew that the presence of both candidates in one region could create problems. So, we decided to wait for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to complete his campaign tour in the Ashanti Region.

"The moment he finished and left, we announced the date we would start ours. I just heard that he has run back here," Mahama remarked.

Commenting on Dr. Bawumia's return to the region, Mahama stated that no matter the efforts made by the NPP candidate in the Ashanti Region, the NDC would still emerge victorious in the upcoming elections.

"All I would say is that he can bring his wife, the Second Lady, and all his children to come and sleep in the Ashanti Region. No matter what he does, when the time comes, the NDC will still win," he said.

Mahama's remarks come as he begins his campaign in the Ashanti Region, a key battleground for both parties as the December 7 elections approach.
