The presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has reacted to allegations that he owns hotels in Dubai.

Mahama has fearlessly denied running a hotel business in the Asian country.

According to the former president, it is one of the many false allegations leveled against him by the NPP.

"They said I built hotels in Dubai, I have ships in Tokyo, they said DKM was mine. If I have hotels in Dubai, I dare them to go and look for it, sell it and come and invest the money in Ghana's economy," he said.

In addressing the party followers in Accra, he said the NPP has not been able to provide any evidence against him, as all the claims are false and merely aimed at tarnishing his image.
