The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has commended Alhaji Hudu Mogtari, a former NDC parliamentary aspirant in the Wa Central Constituency of the Upper West Region for his support to the party.

In a recent show of commitment to the party’s 2024 campaign in the Upper West Region, Alhaji Hudu Mogtari donated a pick-up truck and several motorbikes to aid the party.

He also donated an amount of 30,000 Ghana Cedis as seed money for the maintenance and fueling of the items donated.

He made the presentation ahead of a Fundraising Dinner organised by the Upper West Regional Executive Committee of the NDC.

Former president John Dramani Mahama, NDC’s National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah and the host regional chairman, Nasir Sani received the items on behalf of the party.

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress commended Alhaji Hudu Mogtari for the intervention.

“Thank you very much my brother-in-law for this handsome donation. Upper West is one of the critical regions for the NDC because it was midwifed by our tradition and we take the region very seriously and that’s why we aim to win all 11 seats in the Upper West region” John Mahama said.

The National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah also charged the regional leadership of the party to make sure that the positive impact of the donation is felt on the campaign.

Speaking at the brief handing-over ceremony, Alhaji Hudu Mogtari said the gesture is the first of many contributions he plans to offer towards the party’s 2024 campaign.

“We have donated these items to help with the work of the NDC in the Upper West Region. We know the 2024 election is not going to be an easy task, and we need all boots on the ground to make sure that we go around, we sell the message of the NDC so that we can win all eleven parliamentary seats in the upper West Region.

He added that the “token of 25 motorbikes and a pick-up truck is to aid those who will be doing the work because people need to move around and they would need these vehicles and that’s why we have donated.”

He further admonished party leadership to effectively utilise the items for their intended purpose of a vigorous campaign to win power in the December polls.

The Upper West Regional Chairman of the NDC, Nasir Sani pledged the items will be put to good use.

The donation of a pick-up vehicle and several motorbikes towards the party's campaign efforts has been described by many party supporters as a move that will come in handy for the upcoming elections.
