The entourage includes the regional Vice Chairman Kwame Mumuni Believers, Sissala East NDC Parliamentary Candidate Mohammed Issah Bataglia, Sissala East Constituency chairman Razak Namoro and other constituency executives.
The engagements which started on September 17, 2024, took the team to the constituency capital Tumu and other communities such as Kong, Sakalu, Jijeng, Sakai, Bugubelle and the Kasena areas.
The move is also aimed at energising the party’s grassroots ahead of the election. The NDC Parliamentary candidate, Mohammed Issah Bataglia, is in a first contest with the incumbent Member of parliament and Deputy Sanitation Minister, Issahaku Amidu Chinnia.
