John Dramani Mahama, Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to enhance the livelihoods of market women in the Volta Region by constructing the Ho-Dzodze-Aflao road and building a modern market in Aflao.

During an address to traders in the Ho central market as part of his campaign tour, Mahama assured the women of a smoother trading experience, with improved infrastructure to facilitate the free flow of goods and services between Aflao and Ho.

Mr Mahama emphasized the NDC's commitment to development, highlighting that his next administration would focus on building critical infrastructure to support local commerce.
