The streets of Tamale North were filled with thousands of enthusiastic supporters who gathered to witness the launch of Alhassan Suhuyini’s re-election campaign for the 2024 elections on October 12.

The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) officially kicked off his bid for another term on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), with overwhelming support from his constituents and party loyalists.

The campaign launch saw the presence of key NDC parliamentarians, including former Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu and North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who, along with other notable MPs, rallied behind Suhuyini. They praised his commitment to serving the people of Tamale North and urged the crowd to stay dedicated to ensuring his victory in the upcoming elections.

The participation of these senior MPs highlighted the unity within the party and the significance of maintaining strong NDC representation in the Northern Region. Several NDC executives also attended the event, further demonstrating the party’s high-level support for Suhuyini's re-election bid.

Among the attendees was Sam George, MP for Ningo-Prampram, who encouraged the gathering to work together to secure a win for the party in 2024. He stressed the importance of teamwork and strategy as the NDC seeks to strengthen its parliamentary majority.

During the event, Haruna Iddrisu called on the NDC parliamentary caucus, the Speaker of Parliament, and all NDC members to take decisive action by Wednesday, October 16, to declare the NDC as the majority group in Parliament, in line with Article 97(g) of the Constitution. He emphasised that this declaration was key to asserting the party’s influence in legislative matters.
