President John Dramani Mahama will today, March 20, commence a thank-you tour of the Upper East and Northern Regions to express his gratitude to the Chiefs and people for their overwhelming support during the 2024 general elections.
The tour will begin with an event at Jubilee Park in Bolgatanga at 2:00 Pm.
Following that, President Mahama will head to the Northern Region, where he will hold a similar gathering at Jubilee Park in Tamale on Saturday, March 22, at 2:00 Pm.
The tour forms part of a series of engagements aimed at strengthening relations with traditional leaders and the wider public.
President Mahama is expected to discuss ongoing and future development projects in both regions.
This visit follows his recent trip to the Volta Region on March 6, 2025, where he assessed the impact of tidal waves that devastated coastal communities, including Salakope and Agavedzi in the Ketu South Municipality.
During that visit, he criticised the suitability of a designated resettlement site for displaced residents, describing it as inadequate for long-term habitation.
He assured affected communities that the government would take steps to address their concerns and provide a lasting solution.
Today’s trip marks President Mahama’s first official visit to the Upper East and Northern Regions since assuming office.
