Abronye, who identified Mr. Mahama as a friend, wrote a mocking message on his Facebook page in which he expressed his desire for the former president to be unsuccessful in achieving his goal of winning reelection.

"Have a happy birthday, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, my dear buddy.

After 2024, I wish you the best of luck as you continue to represent Ghana's longest-running opposition.

Raila Odinga of Ghana,

again, happy birthday.

Thank you," he wrote.

Former President, John Dramani Mahama, lost a second presidential term bid in 2016 and failed another attempt at capturing power on the ticket on the National Democratic Congress in 2020.

Ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, former President Mahama is tipped as the likely candidate to lead the NDC.

Meanwhile, the governing New Patriotic Party is hoping to maintain power beyond 2023.
