A trend has emerged in Ghana’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) where sons of former presidents are actively participating in politics.
Sharaf Dramani Mahama, son of John Dramani Mahama, has combined his passion for sports with political engagement, including a health walk in Tamale.
Kofi Sam Atta Mills, son of John Evans Atta Mills, has started making appearances on political platforms, including a health walk organized by Sharaf Mahama.
Kimathi Agyeman-Rawlings, son of Jerry John Rawlings, has increased his public appearances, including a campaign event for John Mahama in Accra.
This phenomenon raises questions about whether these sons will follow in their fathers’ footsteps and pursue political leadership positions.
With the campaign season heating up and the general elections approaching, Ghanaians may see more of these young men on the political scene.
Their involvement could potentially influence the outcome of the elections and shape the future of Ghana’s political landscape.
The trend also sparks conversations about the potential for another “inherited” presidency in Ghana, as Nana Akufo-Addo, the current president, also followed in his father’s footsteps to become a Head of State.
The increased visibility of these sons of former presidents has generated interest in their potential political aspirations and the impact they may have on the country’s political landscape.
