Flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of running a secret disinformation campaign designed to damage his reputation.

While on a campaign tour in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, November 3, Mahama claimed the government was using fake news to intentionally harm his image ahead of the 2024 elections.

Addressing the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Mahama rejected allegations that he had orchestrated an attack on his convoy in Techiman, calling them baseless and aimed at causing division.

Emphasizing his commitment to a peaceful election, Mahama urged all stakeholders to prioritize unity and transparency for the good of the nation, rejecting tactics of disunity.

“The seat of government knows about the recent propagation of fake news…Because their campaign has failed, they have resorted to lying and propagating fake news.

“But I know God knows everyone’s heart, and just as He enstools kings, He will have mercy on us and enstool His king,” he stated.
