The National Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has disclosed that the son of the party's constituency chairman in the Atwima Kwanwoma is dealing with mental health issues.

Addressing the media, Gyamfi called for compassion and understanding, urging the public to refrain from politicizing the young man's condition.

“The young man, our chairman in Atwima Kwanwoma, has been battling mental issues for a while now. This is a delicate matter, and I appeal to everyone to handle the situation with care and respect for the family's privacy,” Gyamfi stated.

The race for the replacement for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is ongoing, with thirteen candidates gunning for the position. Of the thirteen, nine represent political parties while four are contesting as independent candidates.

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party and John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress are the frontrunners, with both parties confident of crossing the 50% line to become President of the country.

While Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign has been anchored on digitalization, John Mahama has been preaching a 24-hour economy.

History beckons for both parties as a win for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will mark the first time a party is governing the country for three consecutive terms.
