A number of lecturers from the University of Ghana, University of Professional Studies (UPSA) and the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) have publicly thrown their support behind former President John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming December general election.

They urged Ghanaians to reelect the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as President of Ghana.

Led by Professor Michael Kpessa Whyte, a political scientist and lecturer and Professor Nana Ama Klutse, the Head of Physics Department, all of the University of Ghana, about 35 other lecturers turned out on streets in Accra on Tuesday to share flyers containing pieces of information about John Mahama and the NDC, to motorists, passengers and other commuters at the Okponglo traffic light on the main University of Ghana-Madina road.

Some of the motorists cheered them on by singing and demonstrating the change sign.
