The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced plans to unveil its manifesto in the Central region this August.

The manifesto will outline the party’s proposed policies for implementation if they win the December 7 elections.

At the campaign launch in Tamale, NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama committed to setting up a women’s development bank to support female entrepreneurs.

He also promised to eliminate the double-track system in senior high schools, allowing all students to attend school simultaneously.

Furthermore, Mahama pledged to eradicate the use of schools under trees, echoing initiatives started by late President Prof. Mills, and to build hostels on tertiary institutions' lands to reduce student commuting hazards.

“We will also remove schools under trees just like Prof Mills [late president] started, and for tertiary students, a portion of school lands will be used to build hostels to prevent students from travelling to and fro with all the dangers it comes with.”
