Mahama Youth Group to be inaugurated on Sunday

A youth-based political interest group is to be launched on Sunday to garner support for Ghana's President John Mahama ahead of the 2016 elections.

Youth Empowerment for Mahama will be officially unveiled at an event at the Sango Beach in Nungua on Sunday.

It is the brain child of businessman and NDC sympathizer Jesse Kofi Kumordjie.

The event will also be a mini rallying point for the group, which is seeking to position itself strategically ahead of the general elections tentatively due for November.

Organizers remain optimistic they will be able to assemble a decent crowd on Sunday.

Ghana goes to the polls in November to either elect a new President in the main opposition NPP's Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, or retain John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress.
