The Hogbetsotso festival over the weekend, played a pivotal role by bringing together, persons who many have perceived as ‘Arch Rivals’ in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearership race.

Four leading flabearer aspirants, former President, John Mahama; Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin; former Trade Minister, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah; and former NHIA Boss, Sylvester Mensah, stormed Anloga in the Volta Region for the grand durbar of chiefs and people of Anlo to crown the 2018 Hogbetsotso Za.

The NDC flagbearer race seems to be getting stiffer by the day as all contenders in the contest appear to be looking for avenues to woo delegates to their camp.

But this time, none was seen making a political statement neither was any spotted trying to seek the favour of delegates – as has been the case in recent campaign tours.

The four, were rather captured in photos exchanging pleasantries with the Chiefs and engaging in hearty chats with their fellow aspirants.
