Meanwhile, Tamale South, which is the constituency of NDC\u2019s Haruna Iddrisu, remains firmly in NDC control.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bawumia also commissioned a mosque in the Tolon constituency during his visit.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has drawn a sharp comparison between the administration of former President John Mahama and the current NPP government, highlighting what he described as significant strides under his party\u2019s leadership.
