Former President John Mahama says he will vote in the District Level Election (DLE) in his district in Bole in the Savannah Region.
He urged all voters to go out in their numbers to take part in the DLE because it is their civic duty.
In an X post (formerly Twitter) he said “I will be voting later this morning to elect Assembly and Unit Committee Members for my electoral area in Bole. It is our civic duty. Go out and Vote. Your vote in the district level elections matters. Let’s work together to shape the future of our communities.”
