Apart from the 603, the immediate-past Ashaiman Constituency Chairman of the NDC, Shaddad Umar Jallo, has also promised to pay half of the GHS400,000 filing fee for Mahama.

According to Mr Jallo, his decision to support the former president is borne out of love for him coupled with his capability to win political power for the NDC in the 2020 elections.

Furthermore, a group of spare parts dealers at Abossey Okai has also pledged to pay half of the amount to support Mahama.
