John Dramani Mahama but leaders have rescheduled the date due to the inability of the Electoral Commission to conduct a successful Assembly Members elections yesterday 19th December,2023.
A new date would be set by organizers of the walk in due course.

Starting point: Aboabo post office

The 24-Hour Economy Proposition:
The NDC, under the leadership of H.E. John Dramani Mahama, is committed to the vision of a 24-hour economy. This proposition is driven by the pressing need to address unemployment challenges across various sectors of the economy.
“We believe that transitioning to a 24-hour economy will unlock immense opportunities for businesses and individuals.
We want to emphasize that anyone against this policy is an enemy of our economic liberation and does not have the youth at heart since the policy is here to provide Jobs.
Elsewhere, workers earn additional salaries by taking up additional jobs through this 24-hour shift system. Dr Bawumia in particular is on record to have shared how he took up a restaurant job whiles in the UK outside of school hours to earn some money.
Why is he preventing the 24 hour economy which will equally give the Youth and even students opportunity in the country.
The 24-hour economy initiative aims to create a vibrant and dynamic economic
landscape that operates round the clock. By doing so, we anticipate a surge in job
opportunities across sectors such as manufacturing, services, and technology.
This initiative will not only provide employment for our youth but also contribute significantly to the economic growth of the region.
Government Support:
The NDC, once in government, is committed to supporting both private and public institutions in the implementation of the 24-hour economy initiative.
This support will come in the form of policy frameworks, Tax incentives, and collaboration with relevant stakeholders. The Government under H.E. John Dramani Mahama shall also provide maximum security to ensure the success of the policy.
We believe that a partnership between the government and businesses is crucial for the successful realization of this vision.
Theme:
The theme for our procession is “Ashanti Region will rise again”.
We chose this theme to communicate hope to every citizen in the Ashanti region who is unemployed or facing any financial difficulty.
We are here to assure them to not give up because help is on its way. H.E John Dramani Mahama will rescue the Country come 7th December, 2024 and he shall implement the 24 hour economy which will transform Ghana within 24 months.
The NDC is the only government that priorities health issues and the development of Ashanti Region.
The NDC under H.E. John Dramani Mahama initiated several
projects that have been abandoned by the current NPP administration.
The Kumawu, Fomena, Asewua, hospitils among several schools have been abandoned.
The 24 hour Economy will revive the economy and the NDC will support the call of the Asantehene to renovate KATH. That will be done and we shall further complete all abandoned hospitals, schools and projects within 24 months in government.
Ashanti is well catered for under this policy and we shall be out there on 21st
December, 2024 to engage with the people on this game changing policy.
We invite you all to join us in this mega procession to witness our commitment to a brighter and more prosperous future for the people of the Ashanti Region.
We look forward to your support and coverage of this important event.
Thank you for your kind attention.”It maintained.
