President Mahama begins Greater Accra thank you tour with grand durbar in Dodowa

As part of his ongoing nationwide “Thank You” tour, President John Dramani Mahama is set to commence his visit to the Greater Accra Region today, aiming to express his heartfelt gratitude to the chiefs and people for their strong backing in the December 7, 2024, general elections.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) recorded a sweeping electoral victory in the region, and today’s visit underscores Mahama’s appreciation for that support.

A central feature of the visit will be a durbar scheduled for 2:00 p.m. at the Old Ghanata Astro Turf in Dodowa. The event is expected to draw traditional rulers, party loyalists, youth groups, opinion leaders, and residents from across the region.

This durbar is not just a token of thanks—it also presents an opportunity for President Mahama to reconnect with constituents and outline his administration’s vision for development under the NDC’s #ResettingGhana manifesto.

He is expected to speak on core issues such as infrastructure development, healthcare, job creation, and youth empowerment, reiterating his commitment to addressing the challenges facing the region.

Preparations for the event have been thorough, with organisers ensuring that logistics, sound systems, seating arrangements, and security measures are in place. Cultural performances and adherence to traditional protocols will mark the ceremonial atmosphere, reflecting the significance of the occasion.

Traditional rulers will be given due prominence, and the gathering will serve as a bridge between the region’s heritage and its aspirations for progress.

For many attendees, this durbar represents a unique opportunity to hear directly from President Mahama and share in a renewed vision for the future. It also celebrates the enduring partnership between the people of Greater Accra and the NDC leadership.

In essence, today’s event in Dodowa marks more than the start of a regional tour—it is a powerful symbol of unity, gratitude, and a collective drive to build a better Ghana.
