Former President John Dramani Mahama will on Wednesday March 22, 2023, launch a fundraising platform at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential hopeful will also hold a public lecture on political party financing in Ghana.

It is believed that Mr Mahama will use the funds to support his campaign, as well as aid other party activities just as he did in previous years.

In January 2020, the former president launched a fundraising platform to financially support his candidacy for the general elections.

Meanwhile, some party stalwarts and bigwigs such as Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, General Secretary Fifi Kwetey, among others are expected to grace the occasion tomorrow.

On Tuesday, as part of his preparations towards the NDC primaries scheduled for May, Mr John Mahama filed his nominations to contest the flagbearership position.

The filing of nomination was done by his campaign team led by a leading member of the NDC, Prof Joshua Alabi.

They submitted the required documents as well as fees at the party’s headquarters in Accra on Tuesday March 21, 2023.

Prof Alabi gave a strong indication to the Electoral Commission ahead of the 2024 general election that they will not tolerate any level of compromise that will be disadvantageous to their candidate.

The former president will come up against former Mayor of Kumasi, Kojo Bonsu and businessman, Ernest Kwaku Krobea, as well as former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffour, in his quest to run on the ticket of the NDC come 2024.
