Chief Momodu stirred the campaign atmosphere with a Special Edition of his Ovation International magazine dedicated to President Mahama’s four years administration, with a special focus on the infrastructural developments across the nation.

He severally – on different traditional and new media platforms - eulogized President Mahama’s visionary leadership and urged Ghanaians to give him a second chance; a development which spurred lots of criticism and debate on whether he has the right to support a presidential candidate as a foreigner.

The Electoral Commission chairperson, Mrs Charlotte Osei few hours ago however declared the New Patriotic Party flagbearer Akufo-Addo winner - with 5,7160226 (53.85%) while President Mahama polled 4,713,277 (44.40%).
