Mr John Alex Hammah, the father of Victoria Hammah has picked a Presidential Candidate nomination form to be able to contest the upcoming December 7 election as an Independent Candidate.
Alex Hammah, a veteran Trade Unionist and Industrial and Public Relations consultant says he has received a huge number of calls from Ghanaian workers, urging him to step into the race–intending to carter for workers’ need when he emerges victorious.
He told Kasapa News that: “I’ve been in exile, I have suffered a lot. But now at my age though I’m old age, I’m young in thoughts. Now the workers of Ghana are suffering and the voice of labour should be heard. We helped Nkrumah to make it possible for Ghana to have independence and Trade Union Leaders have suffered some have died.”
Mr. Hammah reportedly has “a long political career and founded the Ghana Democratic Party in 1969.”
He disclosed to Kasapa Fm that “he has for the most part of his life, had the ambition of leading Ghana as an effective leader, a strong desire that saw him being sentenced to death imprisonment on his birthday several decades ago.”
Hammah also said: “The time has come for a leader who is courageous, patriotic and incorruptible. Ghanaians should vote for me because I understand the problems of Labour and Industry. I have negotiated with top employers since independence and so I know the problems of both employers and workers. People don’t understand the problems of workers. People are talking about providing jobs but they don’t understand workers problems. With my experience I will be the right person to be President of Ghana.”
