Former President John Dramani Mahama, has vowed to embark on a positive campaign devoid of insults and name-calling in his bid to become the leader of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mahama gave this assurance after he submitted his nomination forms at the party’s headquarters in Accra on Monday, December 17.
“I want to promise you and pledge to you that I’ll maintain the ethics of a clean campaign and I am positive that at the end of the process John Dramani Mahama will emerge as a candidate of the National Democratic Congress.
We do not seek power for power sake. We seek power to return NDC to power to continue the good work that NDC was doing for the nation.”
