In a Facebook post that has captured the attention of many, Lordina Mahama, wife of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, has expressed her support and admiration for her husband, John Dramani Mahama.
The message has already gathered over 3,000 likes and over 300 comments and shares. Describing her husband as a man of vision, determination, and passion, Mrs. Mahama highlighted the unique qualities that, in her view, make him the best candidate to lead Ghana.
Lordina Mahama also offered prayers for strength and divine blessings over her husband as he seeks to return to the presidency.
The race for the replacement for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is ongoing with thirteen candidates gunning for the position.
Of the thirteen, nine of them represent political parties while four are contesting as independent candidates.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party and John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress are the frontrunners with both parties confident of crossing the 50% line to become President of the country.
While Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign has been anchored on digitalization, John Mahama has been preaching a 24-hour economy.
History beckons for both parties as a win for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will mark the first time a party is governing the country for three consecutive terms under the Fourth Republic.
On the other hand, a win for John Mahama will see him become the first president to be re-elected after winning on two previous ocassions.
The other candidates whose performance are of huge interest to Ghanaians are Alan Kyerematen of the Movement for Change and Nana Kwame Bediako of the New Force Movement.
