The statement said Mr Mahama would, however, continue his first phase tour of the Ashanti Region, which would end today, Monday, March 20, 2022.
Former President Mahama was the flagbearer of the NDC in the 2012, 2016, and 2020 presidential elections. He clinched victory in 2012 but lost in 2016 and 2020.
