“Even as you vote for me on December 7, I implore you to vote for our contestant for the Odododiodio Constituency, Nii Lantey Vanderpuye!...Nii Lante Vanderpuye … Eei ….Nii Lante Bannerman, vote for Nii Lante Bannerman. What do we need Nii Lante Vanderpuye for? Vote Nii Lante Vanderpuye,” the president stated in Twi.
The former president, John Mahama, was also seen on his campaign trail at the Anyaa Sowutuom asking his parliamentary candidate where he was speaking from. It has been a tough campaign season for both parties.
Stakes are so high for both candidates. A win for Akufo Addo will virtually retire John Dramani Mahama in his ambition for the presidency. A win for John Mahama will also make Akufo Addo the first President in the history of the NPP to be a one-term president.
