Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) John Dramani Mahama during his recent tour of the North East Region, screamed in shock on hearing the party's Parliamentary Candidate for Walewale Constituency was contesting the seat for the 5th time.
At a rally in Tinguri to officially introduce Mr.Abdallah Abubakari to residents, Mr Mahama asked whether it was his third time attempting to win the seat that hitherto was an NDC stronghold.
He was heard asking "This is your third time eh?" but the former Northern Regional Minister in response said "It is my fifth time" and John Mahama in apparent shock shouted 'Oyohoo".
Before joining the NDC prior to the 2016 elections, Mr.Abdallah Abubakari, was the 2008 and 2012 Parliamentary Candidate for the People's National Convention (PNC) in the Walewale constituency.
