Thousands of NPP supporters in the Tolon Constituency of the Northern Region joined the Member of Parliament for the area, Hon. Alhaji Habib Iddrisu, in a massive health walk on Sunday ahead of the December 7 elections.

The crowd that greeted the health walk was estimated to be over 30,000 supporters of the NPP from all 24 electoral areas in the Tolon Constituency. The event also attracted supporters from Tamale and friends of the MP in a show of solidarity.

This mammoth NPP health walk sent shivers down the spine of the opposition NDC as the December 7 elections approach, delivering a strong message signaling a massive win for the NPP.

Addressing the enthusiastic supporters, the Northern Regional Chairman of the party, Mr. Adam Samba, stated that the impressive turnout at the health walk reflected the good work of the MP.

Chairman Samba urged the people to vote massively for the NPP in the upcoming elections to retain the incumbent Tolon MP for further development.

The incumbent MP for Tolon, Hon. Alhaji Habib Iddrisu, affectionately known as Soyalana, expressed gratitude to the crowd for their commitment and loyalty towards the party's fortunes. He reminded them to ensure a significant turnout at the polls to support him and the party’s presidential candidate, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, in the December 7, 2024 general elections.

He projected that the NPP will lead the NDC by over 20,000 votes in the upcoming elections.
