SHARAF MAHAMA LEADS THE CHARGE FOR NDC’S VICTORY IN VOLTA REGION: A BEACON OF HOPE AND ACTION
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has found an invaluable gem in Sharaf Mahama, whose relentless dedication and hands-on approach to the 2024 election campaign is lighting a fire of hope across the Volta Region. As the son of H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the NDC’s presidential candidate, Sharaf is not only carrying the torch of his father’s legacy but also carving his path as a dynamic leader whose vision resonates with the grassroots.
In a groundbreaking collaboration between the Sharaf Mahama Healthy Heart Campaign, the NDC Care for Change Campaign, and the NDC National Youth Wing’s Traders and Artisans Network (TAN), Sharaf Mahama has mobilized a multi-faceted team of health professionals, youth volunteers, and community leaders commandeered by Dr Fred Bedzrah, to address critical health and social needs in the Volta Region. This strategic partnership underscores the NDC’s unwavering commitment to improving lives while galvanizing support at the grassroots level for the upcoming elections.
For two weeks, from November 18th to November 30th, 2024, the Volta Region has become a hive of activity as Sharaf Mahama’s medical and volunteer teams descended upon key constituencies, including Ho Central, Ho West, Agortime Ziope, Adaklu, Ketu North, Anlo, and Keta, among others. Community after community welcomed these teams with open arms, receiving free medical and surgical care, public health education, and voter engagement efforts that have left an indelible mark on the hearts of over 14,600 patients taken care of so far and many more voters reached out too.
The impact of this initiative is monumental. Through free health outreaches, families burdened by inaccessible healthcare found relief. Through grassroots engagements, they found renewed hope in the policies and promises of the NDC, as explained passionately by Sharaf and his team of health professionals. By bridging the gap between the NDC’s manifesto and the realities on the ground, Sharaf Mahama has ensured that the message of a better Ghana reaches even the remotest corners of the Volta Region.
Sharaf Mahama’s leadership has gone beyond words—it is action-driven, empathetic, and resolute. His willingness to traverse the length and breadth of the region, engaging with traders, artisans, and everyday citizens, has reaffirmed the NDC’s message that no community is too small and no individual too insignificant in the march toward victory. “We are here to not only ask for your vote but to show you the NDC’s commitment to your well-being,” Sharaf noted in a solidarity message to people of the Volta Region.
The Traders and Artisans Network (TAN), another critical pillar in this campaign, has worked tirelessly under the direction of Dr Fred Bedzrah, to rally support through voter education, door-to-door outreach, and town hall meetings. TAN’s efforts have drawn overwhelming participation, with market women, carpenters, seamstresses, and other artisans pledging their support for the NDC.
Sharaf Mahama’s efforts have been met with widespread admiration and gratitude. Community leaders in Anlo Afiadnyigbal commended his resolve, describing him as “a young man with a heart for the people.” Health workers who partnered on the campaign spoke of his humility and focus, with one volunteer remarking, “Sharaf Mahama is not just here for politics—he is here for the people. His commitment is inspiring.”
The Sharaf Mahama-led initiative has not only cemented his role as a critical force in the NDC campaign but has also set a new standard for grassroots engagement. With his combination of compassion, determination, and a laser focus on delivering tangible results, Sharaf Mahama has become a beacon of hope for the people and a formidable asset in the NDC’s drive to reclaim power in 2024.
As the Volta Region emerges from this transformative experience, one thing is clear: with Sharaf Mahama leading the charge at the grassroots level, the NDC’s vision for a better, fairer Ghana is not just a promise—it is a commitment in action.
