Spokesperson for ex-President John Dramani Mahama's Campaign team, James Agyenim Boateng has disclosed that they have been able to raise more than four hundred thousand ghana cedis to pay for the filing fees of the former President.

However, they are appealing for more support from individuals who believe in the JDM 2020 agenda.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that it is not that the former president cannot afford to pay for the filing fees, but the various donations are coming as a result of the clarion call by Ghanaians who are yearning for his return.

"More so, we need funds to run other activities for the JDM campaign that is why we are still urging other individuals and well meaning Ghanaians to contribute to the JDM campaign.

"Given the extraordinary level of interest shown in the fund-raising effort, we wish to announce an official short code and mobile money account through which contributions can be made," he said. 

According to him all members of the public willing to contribute can do so through the short code, *713*2020*amount# on all networks or MTN mobile money number 0540 842 021. All pledges of GHC1,000 towards the Filing Fee should be sent by mobile money to 0540 842 021.

The short code *713*2020*amount# is opened for all contributions no matter the amount. Contributors are advised that COMET will not take responsibility for any funds sent to any account other than the two accounts indicated above. COMET assures the general public of the highest levels of accountability and judicious utilisation of proceeds realised.

NDC supporters queue at Mahama’s office to donate towards GHc420,000 fee.

Dozens of supporters of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Monday thronged the office of flagbearer hopeful, John Dramani Mahama, to contribute towards his nomination and filing fees.

Although many have described the GHc420,000 fees the NDC is charging its flagbearer hopefuls as hefty, Mahama’s campaign team have called on his followers to make donations towards the cause to enable him contest in the upcoming primaries.

Meanwhile, John Mahama has picked his nomination forms today, although his other contestants have boycotted the process until their petition over the high cost of fees is addressed.

96 NDC MPs Raise Over GHc600,000 For Mahama – Ras Mubarak 

Some 96 NDC legislators supporting Mahama said they have raised over GHc 600,000 for Mahama’s bid to become the party’s next flagbearer for election 2020.

“Initially, we thought we would just raise GHc420,00 cedis but very interestingly, a lot of support in terms of raising the funds has come from friends, well-wishers and members of the party. From the last count we’ve raised a little over GHc 600,000,” Kumbungu MP, Ras Mubarak disclosed on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme.
