What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Juapong (V/R), Aug 13, GNA – Mr John Dramani Mahama, the former President and the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasized that the Volta Region’s designation as the “world bank” of the NDC is not merely about the number of votes the party receives in general elections.

Instead, this tag is derived from the consistently high percentage of votes the NDC secures in the region during every election cycle.

Former President Mahama made these remarks while addressing the people, party members, and chiefs of North Tongu at Juapong during a community engagement as part of his four-day tour of the Volta Region.

He highlighted that the Volta Region consistently delivered the highest percentage of votes for the NDC but noted that the 84 per cent achieved in the 2020 elections was insufficient.

He expressed concern that during the tenure of the late President Jerry John Rawlings, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) barely made any inroads in the region, yet in 2020, they managed to secure 14 per cent of the vote.
