The National Democratic Congress flagbearer, John Mahama, has begun a tour of the critical swing Western Region.

Mahama will be in the region campaign until Wednesday, November 27. This follows a five-day tour of the Eastern Region.

During his tour of the Western Region, Mahama will visit each constituency to engage directly with voters, aiming to secure their support with just under two weeks remaining until the December 7 election.

Mahama’s outreach is part of his final push to rally support for his presidential bid.

The tour will commence with a courtesy visit to the Western Regional House of Chiefs.

The tour will then continue with visits to various constituencies, starting with Wassa East, followed by Shama, Essikadu-Ketan, Sekondi, Effia, Kwesimintsim, and Takoradi.

These stops will allow him to interact with residents, listen to their concerns, and outline his vision for the region.

Richard Kirk-Mensah, the NDC Western Region Communications Director, believes that the NDC is well placed to win the Western Region.

Kirk-Mensah argued to YEN.com.gh that the NPP has failed to deliver on several promises, such as the Takoradi port expansion.

"They promised one district, one factory. There is no single factory in the [Takoradi] metropolis that they have started, completed and operationalised. There is no secondary school they have built in the whole of the western region they have started, completed and operationalised."
