Dec 7 polls: Mahama booms Kumasi National Theatre promise
John Dramani Mahama has promised a second national theatre.

Speaking to stakeholders in the creative arts industry in Kumasi, Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the former president assured fulfilment this promise once he resumed office.
He said, “In our 2020 manifesto, we promised to build Ghana’s second national theatre in Kumasi. We have not reneged on our promise and we are repeating that if we come into power, we will build our second theatre in Kumasi.”
He added: “The national film theatre since the Chinese helped us to build under Rawlings’s time till now, it has not been rehabilitated.”
“A lot of things are in bad shape at the theatre. The curtains cannot be drawn, the stage is in bad shape and so it is time for us to rehabilitate the building so it can help the creative industry,” he emphasised.
