John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of prioritizing development projects in regions that supported them in past elections, while neglecting others. Apexnewsgh reports
Mahama contends that this approach undermines fair development across the country, vowing to address the imbalance if elected.
During his tour of the Oti Region on November 4, 2024, Mahama criticized the “regional disparities” in resource allocation under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration. He promised the people of Oti that, under his leadership, development would be distributed more equitably, including investment in critical infrastructure that has long been lacking in the region.
Mahama specifically highlighted the government’s decision not to establish a regional hospital in Krachi East, despite urgent healthcare needs. “NPP failed to build the regional hospitals because Krachi East indigenes didn’t vote for them. NDC will uphold its promise to Krachi East in terms of infrastructure,” he stated.
The former president’s visit to Dambai in Krachi East brought together chiefs and supporters, including the Chief of Dambai, Nana Mprah Besemuna III. Nana Besemuna commended Mahama for his past investments in the region’s education and healthcare but stressed the need for more significant healthcare infrastructure, particularly a regional hospital.
“We are very grateful for the educational infrastructure you developed, which has helped us all these years. We also know you built smaller hospitals in Krachi, but the people are yearning for a regional hospital. We want you to prioritize the regional hospital when voted into power,” Nana Besemuna appealed.
