Sharaf Mahama, the son of former President John Dramani Mahama, was spotted going door-to-door in Kintampo as part of a voter education campaign. The young Mahama, often known for his low public profile, was seen interacting with residents, particularly elderly women, and explaining how to correctly cast their ballots in the upcoming election. His hands-on approach has sparked a lot of attention, especially given the personal touch he has brought to the campaign.
A video circulating on social media captured the moment Sharaf Mahama sat with a group of older women, showing them a sample ballot paper and guiding them through the process of selecting a candidate. As he patiently explained the voting procedure, it became evident that his focus was on helping people, especially the elderly and those less familiar with the voting process, avoid mistakes when they head to the polls.
For many, this was a surprising yet refreshing sight. Sharaf has rarely been seen engaging in political activities, especially of this nature. Among the children of John Mahama, he has become the first to be actively involved in campaigning for his father’s return to the presidency, following John Mahama’s defeat in the 2016 election. His efforts are a clear sign of personal commitment to his father’s political career.
Interestingly, while Sharaf is taking this active role, some notable figures from the Mahama family are missing in action. John Mahama’s wife, Lordina Mahama, for instance, has not been visibly involved in the campaign this year. This absence has raised eyebrows, given her previous active participation in her husband’s earlier campaigns.
Sharaf’s approach, which focuses on direct voter education, highlights the importance of grassroots efforts in reaching the electorate. His house-to-house method, which aims to ensure that voters are well-informed, seems to resonate with many Ghanaians, especially in more rural areas where voter education can sometimes be lacking.
As the campaign season heats up, Sharaf Mahama’s involvement has added an unexpected yet intriguing dynamic to the race, and it remains to be seen how his efforts will influence the outcome. Many are now watching to see whether this personal touch will pay off at the ballot box.
