Sharaf Mahama, son of former President John Dramani Mahama, drew large crowds to the streets of Tamale on Saturday, June 29, 2024, for his Health Screening and Walk event.

The event saw the participation of his brother Shafik Mahama, along with National and Regional Executives of the NDC, Members of Parliament (MPs), Parliamentary Candidates (PCs), friends, and enthusiastic party supporters.

Starting and ending at the Jubilee Park, the walk traversed through Tamale's main streets, with thousands clad in NDC and Sharaf Mahama Foundation attire, singing and dancing in support of his ‘Healthy Hearts, Empowered Youth’ campaign.

At Jubilee Park, the Sharaf Mahama Foundation organized a team of medical professionals who conducted free health screenings. The screenings included checks for weight, height, BMI, blood pressure, pulse characterization, oximetry, precordium examination, fasting and random blood glucose, hepatitis B and C, prostate cancer, and malaria tests, among others.

A total of 6,483 individuals were screened, comprising 2,633 males and 3,850 females. Additionally, 122 people were registered or had their health insurance renewed on the spot, with over 300 registrations pending completion.

The previous day, on Friday, June 28, 2024, the Sharaf Mahama Foundation also organized a free health screening in Damango, where 1,356 people received screenings.

The event was held in conjunction with the ‘Savannah Soccer Tournament’, which featured teams such as Mole Nationals FC, Larbanga Pro Stars, Blue City FC, and Canteen FC. Mole Nationals FC emerged as the tournament winners, receiving various prizes including money, trophies, jerseys, and footballs.

Addressing his supporters at Jubilee Park to conclude the walk, Special Guest of Honor Haruna Iddrisu urged unity among supporters to secure victory in at least 14 Parliamentary seats and for John Dramani Mahama in the December 7, 2024 elections.

Sharaf Mahama expressed gratitude to the party, supporters, and all involved in making the event a success.

He emphasized the importance of unity and continued effort towards achieving victory in 2024, stating, “I appreciate everyone for making this historic walk such a great success. Let us remain united and continue working towards victory in 2024.”
