The attention of the John Mahama Campaign has been drawn to an online publication on the above subject matter.

We wish to respond as follows:

i. that the itinerary of former President John Dramani Mahama’s five-day flagbearership campaign tour of the Western Region was drawn by the regional and constituency executives of the party in consultation with the campaign team;

ii. that the itinerary took Mr Mahama to all constituencies in the Western Region;

iii. that Mr Mahama honoured all programmes on his itinerary;

iv. that in line with the official itinerary, Mr Mahama paid a courtesy call on a number of chiefs in the Western Region during his campaign tour of the Western Region;

v. that at no point was Mr Mahama scheduled to visit Upper Axim, at least not according to his official itinerary for the just-ended tour especially as there was no such scheduled visit to Upper Axim;

vi. that on basis of the foregoing, it is not correct that the former president refused to attend a durbar of chiefs held purposely to welcome him to the area; and

vii. that the traditional authorities in Upper Axim have not in any way offended Mr Mahama.

We wish to seize this opportunity to thank the regional and constituency executives of Western Region as well as delegates, members and supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for showing up in their numbers to meet and interact with Mr Mahama.
