Voters hail Lordina, La Dade-Kotopon MP

Mrs Lordina Mahama, wife of the president-elect on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr John Dramani Mahama, was among some high profile women that voted at the Next Page International School in La during the presidential and parliamentary election.

She was accompanied by the Spokesperson of Mr Mahama, Mrs Joyce Bawa Mogtari.

The next high profile female voter at the polling station was Ms Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, the Member of Parliament for the La Dade-Kotopon Constituency who successfully retained her seat.

They were the attention of voters and all present at the station and went through the process peacefully.

Mrs Mogtari, who spoke briefly to the press expressed satisfaction about the peaceful and calm atmosphere within which people were voting.

She was rather uncomfortable with the pace of the exercise.

The La Dade-Kotopon MP also expressed satisfaction about turn up and urged residence to value their civic rights.

Ms Sowah was confident her good works in the constituency would drive the constituents to vote massively for her.

For the few voters The Spectator spoke with, it was exciting see the former First Lady in person because they have mostly seen her on television.

In separate chats, they heaped praise on Mrs Mahama for her humility and philanthropic work.
