Women for Mahama tour Northern regions

A group called Women for Mahama (WFM), which is affiliated to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), has taken its nationwide tour to the Northern parts of Ghana where it will instruct women on how to cast their ballots.

The group, which has toured the Volta, Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions, took their tour to the three Northern regions where they visited several market places and interacted with market women.

The group is led by Mrs. Bertha Sogah, Chief Executive Officer of Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), who told Myjoyonline.com that the group is committed to ensuring that women do not spoil their ballots as they vote for President John Mahama.

According to Sogah, John Mahama’s policies for women are the most sound and feasible of any presidential candidate’s. She appealed to the market women in particular to turn out massively for John Mahama on December 7.

The WFM train made stopovers in places such as Kintampo and Wa, where they distributed party souvenirs to crowds who scrambled to grab them. On their way to Accra, WFM also visited Afram Plains to interact with some of the residents there.

The WFM team is composed of dedicated women committed to ensuring that Mahama wins the December 7 polls in order to implement the second phase of the Better Ghana Agenda.
