THE Presidential aspirant of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Dr Edward Nasigre Mahama, left Accra on Monday for a two-week tour of some states in the United States of America (USA).
He was accompanied by his wife, Comfort; the Chairman of the party, Alhaji Ahmed Ramadan; and Mr Haruna Sumani, a political analyst.
While in the US, Mr Mahama will attend the Sister City Conference at Michigan from July 23 to 26.
He would attend the Ghana First Anniversary at Illinois. The anniversary is celebrated by Ghanaians resident in the area to showcase Ghanaian culture.
Mr Mahama told the Daily Graphic that he would visit Washington DC to hold meetings with political leaders and supporters of the PNC in the US.
Asked why he had chosen to campaign in the US, the PNC leader explained that eventhough Ghanaians abroad would not take part in the December elections, they had influence on the voting pattern of their relatives living in Ghana.
He called on Ghanaians to give him the mandate to rule the country to ensure improvement in their lives.
