The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has stated that the party does not take the massive support from the Volta Region for granted. He expressed gratitude to the region for giving the NDC the highest percentage of total votes in general elections since the inception of the 4th Republic. "We want to thank the Volta Region for standing behind the NDC over the years. We don't take your support for granted. "In NDC, we don't call the Volta Region the World Bank for nothing. We call Volta Region the World Bank not because your votes are the highest in nominal terms. "Because if you take the votes of Greater Accra, they are higher but of course, the population of Greater Accra is much bigger. But when it comes in percentage terms, no region comes close to Volta Region in terms of percentage", he explained.
