You take chiefs in the North for granted - Kwamena Duncan blast Mahama, NDC

Kwamena Duncan Kwamena Duncan

Kwamena Duncan has descended heavily on former President John Dramani Mahama over the launch of his National Democratic Congress' national campaign on Saturday, July 27.

The National Democratic Congress held their campaign launch at the Tamale Jubilee Park and urged the Ghanaian electorate to bring back their leader, John Mahama, into power.

The launch saw in attendance members of the party, MPs, and celebrities, including broadcasters Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) and Shamima Muslim, and a gathering of NDC supporters.

Commenting on the event during the "Kokrokoo" discussion programme on Peace FM, Kwamena Duncan described Mr. Mahama as being disrespectful to the traditional leaders in the North.

According to him, the former President, unlike Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, failed to visit the traditional authorities to inform them prior to their campaign launch.

This neglect of the traditional leaders, to Kwamena Duncan, shows the true colors of Mahama and his NDC.

"They have not also given any respect to the traditional authorities," he told Kwami Sefa Kayi, adding, "President Mahama, you went to launch your national campaign, I never saw any visit to any of the paramountcies in the five Northern Regions that, look, this is what we want to do...because he takes them for granted."
