Less than a week after resigning from the presidential contest, Ernest Kobeah, a former flagbearer candidate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged his support for former president John Dramani Mahama.

The businessman on Monday officially met Mahama to discuss a wide range of issues centering on the NDC and the upcoming primaries.

Sharing the news on Facebook on Monday (3 April), Mahama commended Kobeah for the kind gesture.

“Thank you, Ernest Kobeah for your magnanimity in offering me your support to lead our great party, the NDC, to the 2024 elections,” the former leader wrote.

“Your decision to step down from the contest, even after paying in full the filing fees pegged for the contest is exemplary. May the NDC get better and stronger,” Mahama added in his Facebook post.
