Parliament for Tamale North, Mr Alhassan Suhuyini, says President John Dramani Mahama\u2019s popularity is steadily increasing, a development he believes is unsettling the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Joy FM\u2019s Super Morning Show on Tuesday, December 23, Mr Suhuyini said, \u201cYes, the popularity of the President is growing by the day, and it is giving the NPP sleepless nights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He attributed the rising public support to citizens\u2019 approval of the government\u2019s performance and policy direction.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Suhuyini, the NPP may have hoped to capitalise on prevailing political dynamics, but the growing support for President Mahama appears to be undermining those expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is so because they probably would have liked to take advantage of such growing popularity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Minister noted that the increase in popularity goes beyond political metrics, reflecting public perceptions of President Mahama\u2019s leadership style, policy choices, and engagement with citizens across the country.<\/p>\n<p>He urged party members and supporters to sustain the momentum by remaining focused on effective governance and service delivery, stressing that enduring public support is driven by tangible actions and results rather than rhetoric.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
