The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has reaffirmed his commitment to partnering with traditional leaders to promote Ghanaian festivals.<\/p>\n

This initiative, Mahama said, is part of a broader strategy to boost local economies, enhance cultural tourism, and showcase Ghana\u2019s rich heritage on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Mahama made these remarks during a visit to the Ga Mantse\u2019s palace on Thursday, November 28.<\/p>\n

His meeting with King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II and the Ga Traditional Council was a part of his tour of the Greater Accra region as the December 7 general elections draw to a close.<\/p>\n

Taking to his Facebook page to share the experience, Mahama reflected on the role and impact of traditional rulers in Ghanaian society.<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the importance of festivals as not merely cultural celebrations but also as economic opportunities that can drive growth in local communities.<\/p>\n

The NDC\u2019s flagbearer further pledged to work closely with chiefs and other traditional authorities to ensure these festivals receive the visibility and support they need to make a meaningful impact.<\/p>\n
