Mahama’s Unknown Whereabouts Sparks Concern Among Supporters
Concern Grows Over Absence of NDC Flagbearer John Dramani Mahama
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) finds itself gripped in a state of uncertainty and concern as the whereabouts of its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, remain unknown. Speculation and apprehension have mounted within the party ranks following Mahama’s noticeable absence from key political and social engagements.
Mahama’s nonattendance at significant events, notably the 74th birthday celebrations and 25th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, as well as the prestigious Akwasidae festival, has raised eyebrows and prompted questions among party members. His absence, particularly at the grand 25th-anniversary celebration held at Manhyia Palace in the Ashanti Region, has fueled speculation and unease within the party’s leadership.
Reports circulating suggest that Mahama may be undergoing treatment in London for an undisclosed ailment, although these claims remain unconfirmed. Despite refutations from his sister and Special Aide, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, regarding the alleged lack of invitation to these events, concerns persist among party members regarding Mahama’s relationship with the Asantehene.
Criticism directed at Mahama for what some perceive as disrespect towards the Asantehene has intensified, with Lecturer Ishag Kyei Brobbey of KNUST condemning Mahama’s alleged disregard for the cultural and traditional significance of honoring the Asantehene.
The absence of clear communication from Mahama’s office regarding his whereabouts and well-being has exacerbated fears and uncertainty within the NDC. Party members and supporters alike eagerly await updates on Mahama’s status and actions as the political landscape continues to evolve.
As the NDC navigates this period of uncertainty, questions linger regarding the implications of Mahama’s absence on the party’s political strategy and prospects leading up to the upcoming elections. Until clarity is provided, the party remains in a state of lookout, hopeful for the swift return of their leader.
