Ghana’s future President
The leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Atta Mills, was in Tamale the other day. The general election will be next year and it is very much hoped (at least in Tamale and everyone I know) that the NDC will take over from NPP. So, hopefully, this time next year Atta Mills will be the Presedent of Ghana. I got to meet him in a typically random Ghanaian way. He was staying in a hotel near my house. I went along with Sahadatu and Kailan, who are big NDC supporters, to try and catch a glimpse. Turns out one of 
the security people was somehow related to Sahadatu and all of a sudden we were ushered inside. I didn’t really know what was happening and thought that maybe we’d just get a ringside view of him, but no, we were directed to his bedroom where we had a nice wee chat and a photo opportunity. Seems like a nice guy.
