The Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, has stated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) needs to secure over 35% of the votes in the Ashanti region to win the 2024 general elections.

He emphasized the party's goal to work diligently to achieve this target, believing it will be sufficient for victory.

Speaking at the campaign launch for Asawase MP, Muntaka Mohammed, in the Ashanti region, Iddrisu encouraged constituents to support NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, despite the region's traditional support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“You saw the crowd this morning and we are seeing the crowd here. I hear the NPP saying that Ashanti is for NPP. Ashanti is only for NPP if they are performing. And Ashanti is only for NPP if businesses are good. Ashanti is only for NPP if unemployment was low. And therefore, we are optimistic that Asanteman will support John Dramani Mahama and support NDC to win.

“We need just a little above 35% in Ashanti region and we declare John Dramani Mahama the winner of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections. That is our aspiration, and we must work towards that,” he said according to citinewsroom.com.

Haruna Iddrisu also urged support for Muntaka Mohammed, in the 2024 parliamentary elections.

“Muntaka Mohammed is your formidable representative in Parliament. He will continue to do good to the people of Ghana and he will continue to serve the Muslim Ummah better in parliament. He has done it before, and he will continue to do it,” he added.
