Mahama campaign denies knowledge of ‘social democratic forum’ and its claims

The Mahama 2024 Campaign team has said its attention has been drawn to a statement circulated by persons affiliated with the NPP, allegedly from a group called “Social Democratic Forum”.

The statement suggests that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is over-relying on
Alan Kyeremanteng and his Butterfly Movement for political gains in the Ashanti
Region.

But the Mahama 2024 Campaign said that they have no affiliation with the
said group, which is unknown to the NDC.

“This non-existent group is yet another creation of the NPP, who are in panic mode due to growing discontent in the Ashanti Region against their misrule, economic mismanagement, corruption, nepotism, and arrogance of power,” a statement issued by Joyce Bawah Mogtari
Special Aide to HE John Mahama, said.

It added that “The NPP has failed to live up to the expectations of the people of the Ashanti Region, which has led to significant support for the NDC in the region. The statement by the faceless group is nothing but a misguided and desperate effort to downplay the severe
backlash faced by the NPP’s flagbearer for his attempt to distance himself from his own
government’s poor governance.

“The NDC, the largest and most well-structured opposition party in Ghana, is willing to
cooperate with all relevant forces interested in dislodging the NPP from power.
However, we have never relied on any organisation or party to carry out our duties and
responsibilities as a political party. The focus of the NDC and the Mahama 2024 Campaign is to organise and mobilise for the December elections with our message of Building the Ghana we want together.”
