Politics
Mr. Mahama accused the current NPP government of neglecting the La Dadekotopon constituency

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has committed to establishing a commission of enquiry to investigate the alleged “looting of lands” belonging to the Ga Dangbe people.

Speaking during his campaign in the La Dadekotopon constituency in Accra, the former President assured Ga-Adangbe chiefs that he would tackle this issue if elected in the December 7 polls.

Mr. Mahama accused the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of neglecting the La Dadekotopon constituency, claiming that since the party took office in 2017 “othing has happened in the La Dadekotopon area except the stealing of the lands of the La people.” 

As a resident of the constituency, Mr. Mahama emphasised his personal connection to the community’s struggles.

“Because I live in this constituency, I know the problems that you face,” he said.

“I will set up a Commission of Enquiry to investigate the looting of Ga-Adangbe lands,” the NDC flagbearer revealed.

He also announced his intention to officially launch his campaign by the end of July 2024.

 “Before the end of this month, we’re going to launch the campaign, and once we launch the campaign, we’re going to come in our full political regalia to talk to the people of La.

“I know that there are many things on your chest, and I can assure you that we will see what we can do to make sure that we resolve all the issues you face,” he assured.
