His Excellency Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and Former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will join the Zongo Youth Ambassador for Peace and Development in this significant event.

"The Zongo youth will have the chance to meet face-to-face with His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, NDC Presidential Candidate, and His Excellency Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP Presidential Candidate," Ambassador Alhaji Amadu announced.

Above all, there is a pressing need for significant investment to foster self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship.
