John Mahama explained that the NPP rather than investing in development projects, enriches a few individuals in the region and use them as poster children to lure unassuming people to support the NPP.

He told electorates not to fall victim to the tricks and deceptions of the NPP and reject the vote-buying tactics of the ruling government.

He urged them not to forget the economic hardship and lack of development they have suffered under this government and instead vote for the NDC to turn their lives around for the better.

He promised his future government would continue and complete all uncompleted and abandoned infrastructure projects in the region.
