We have pledged to contribute our time, expertise and personal resource to campaign for John Mahama to ensure a resounding victory in the Presidential primaries and galvanize the entire party around his candidature to wrestle power from the clumsy and inept government of Nana Addo Dnkwa Akufo-Addo”.
