"I am one of you. I have been a market woman for over 30 years, so I know what you are going through," she empathized.

Recognizing the pivotal role market women play in the economy, Mrs. Mahama assured them of her unwavering support.

"My doors are always open. My love for you and what you do is not based on who you vote for. I will continue to love you and support you in any way I can," she declared.

Additionally, Mrs. Mahama pledged that a future NDC administration led by John Mahama would prioritize the needs and concerns of market women nationwide.

As part of the NDC's 2020 manifesto, she disclosed plans for the Mahama administration to construct additional markets in all regions while extending her wishes for a happy International Women’s Day, Mrs. Mahama applauded all women for their relentless efforts in contributing to a better world.
