Former Deputy General for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has chided the party's flagbearer, John Mahama, over his alleged absence in the country as the country readies for the 2024 general elections.

He claims that the former President Mahama is in London to "cool off" as his main rival, the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, continues to campaign strongly ahead of the polls.

"Exactly a year today, the NDC allowed a Flagbearer to emerge via means that were not too illuminating when Dr. Duffuor was muscled out of the race. A year on, there is still no serious work being done to convince voters as he cools off in London and ceding the ground to DMB," he wrote in a post on X.

It is unknown whether Mr Mahama is currently in the country or not.

NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has intensified his community engagement by conducting a house-to-house campaign during his tour of the North East Region.

Since the beginning of his regional tour, Dr. Bawumia has engaged with various groups, including market women, taxi drivers, and people from all walks of life on the streets, making his campaign impactful.

In his latest move to connect with voters, Dr. Bawumia conducted a house-to-house campaign in the North East Region. Despite early morning rains, residents of Walewale gave him a warm reception, and he proceeded to walk through the rain on the main street to begin his engagements.
