The Man Mahama:

Former president John Dramani Mahama and now the in-coming president was born on 29th November 1958, in Damongo in the Damango-Daboya constituency of Northern region of Ghana, into a political tradition dating back to the country's First Republic. His father, Emmanuel Adama Mahama, a wealthy rice farmer and teacher, was the first Member of Parliament for the West Gonja constituency and the first Regional Commissioner of the Northern Region during the First Republic, under Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, he also served as a senior presidential advisor under Dr. Hilla Limann.

Former president John Dramani Mahama started his primary education at the Accra Newtown Experimental School (ANT1) and later proceeded to Achimota School before completing secondary school at Ghana Secondary School, Tamale. He then proceeded to the University of Ghana, Legon, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in history in 1981 and a postgraduate diploma in communication studies in 1986. He also studied at the Institute of Social Sciences in Moscow in the Soviet Union, specializing in social psychology; he obtained a postgraduate degree in 1988.

He briefly taught history at the secondary school level for a few years and later worked with the Embassy of Japan in Accra as he Information, Culture and Research Officer between 1991-1995. He also worked with an NGOs as International Relations, Sponsorship Communications and Grants Manager. His first foray into politics was when he was elected to the Parliament of Ghana in the 1996 elections to represent the Bole/Bamboi Constituency for a four-year term and in 1997, he was appointed Deputy Minister of Communication and was promoted to the post of the minister the following year, a position he held until the NDC lost power in the year 2000.

After the end of his parliamentary tenure in 2000, he was re-elected to serve another four years and was again re-elected in 2004 for a third consecutive time, due to his developmental achievements. Due to his exceptional communication skills, he was appointed to serve as a member of an international observer team to monitor the 2002 elections in Zimbabwe. He was also elected into the Pan-African Parliament in 2003, serving as the Chairperson of the West African Caucus until 2011. He is also a member of European and Pan African Parliaments' Ad-hoc Committee on Cooperation and an UNDP Advisory Committee member on conflict resolution.

He was chosen by late Prof. John Evans Attah Mills as his running mate and became the vice president on 7th January, 2009, he did very well as vice president until the death of president Attah Mills on 24 July 2012, when he was made president in line with the constitution of Ghana and he remains the only president that have served at all levels of political office, as member of parliament, deputy minister, minister, vice-president and president. On 30th of March 2014, he was elected to preside over ECOWAS and again on 26th June 2014, he was elected Chairperson of the African Union’s High-Level Trade Committee.

He tenure as president of Ghana saw the greatest and largest infrastructural development in post-independence Ghana with massive road projects, the K.I.A Terminal 3, Tema Port expansion project, Tema Roundabout, procurement of independents power plant, and several school projects known as E-Blocks, not forgetting the massive health facilities such as the UGMC, expansion of Ridge hospitals and other development projects. In fact, the media coined a name for him "Commissioner General" because he was always commissioning new projects, so Ghanaians are clamoring for the return of John Dramani Mahama and Ecowas4JMahama want to join the band-wagon and we use this very important medium to entreat all Ghanaians to join hands and restore the dignity attached to the seat of government.

The victory of NDC is coming again !!!
