The leader and flag bearer of the opposition NDC, John Dramani Mahama has promised to create two new constituencies from the Ketu South constituency when he wins the December 7 general elections and sworn into office subsequently.
The Former President made this known when he was addressing traditional authorities including the Paramount Chief of the Aflao Traditional Area, Togbui Fiti V.
According to Mr. Mahama, his administration was considering the division of the municipality before the Ghanaian populace could not renew their mandate in the last general elections held in December 2016.
There was a huge demonstration in Aflao when the indigenes were calling for the division of the Ketu South Municipality, according to Togbui Fiti. John Mahama also said in his address that Aflao itself should have been a metropolis or a municipal assembly because of the huge population and diversity the area boasts of.
Reacting to the military deployment in the area, the Former President stated that the deployment of the military personnel should have been done at the time the country’s COVID-19 case count was low and not at a time the case count has skyrocketed and also at the time of the voter registration exercise.
He, however, said the deployment is purposely to intimidate people from going out in their numbers to register for the voter ID card which they are to use to exercise their franchise in the upcoming 2020 general elections.
The Former President also added that if military deployment needs to be done; it should be the three neighboring countries which all have case counts far lower than that of Ghana. He said the neighboring countries should rather be afraid of imported cases from Ghana because of the high case counts in the country.

JDM HAS NO MESSAGE FOR GHANAIANS. DIVIDING A CONSTITUENCY IS NOT THE WORK OF THE PRESIDENT. IT IS THE SOLE PREROGATIVE RIGHT OF THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO DO SO AND THE PRESIDENT. OR IS HE TELLING US THAT HE'S COMING ACT AS BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND ELECTORAL COMMISSION CHAIR IF VOTED INTO POWER? PLEASE SOME OF US DON'T HAVE SHORT MEMORY OOO.
EC is the body that creates constituencies... Government creates districts and regions. Mahma is seriously incompetent.
JUST LISTEN TO YOURSELF AHHH. AND BRING BACK DUMSOR . SEND GHANA TO IMF, NKONFEM TO BURKINA ,PLANT TREES IN DRY SEASON. GHANA BE CAREFUL NIT TO HAVE A SHORT MEMORY ESPECIALLY IN THIS PANDEMIC COVID- 19 ERA ELSE ELSE ELSE
Incompetent John Ford Airbus Mahama....No message. No programme. No plans. The people need jobs and development and you are promising them to divide a constituency? Tweaaaaaaaaa. This man is not fit to rule Ghana again.
Infantile suggestions...still no message. And by the way, is it the EC that creates constituencies or the President?
Keep on dreaming John Dramani Mahama, you will NEVER EVER RULE GHANA AGAIN. Start dividing your wealth among your family.
