Dr Farouk Aliu Mahama, a former Member of Parliament for Yendi, has announced his intention to run for the parliamentary seat in the 2028 general election on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). This decision, driven by support from youth groups, traditional leaders, elders, and other community stakeholders, comes after weeks of appeals to return to active parliamentary politics.
The former MP, who represented Yendi from 2021 to 2025, aims to continue his "Great Yendi Dream" development agenda, which includes road improvements, educational facility enhancements, vocational training, and support for farmers. Despite his defeat in the December 2024 general election, Dr Mahama maintains his commitment to Yendi, donating a 100KVA generator to a community struggling with power issues and supporting a young Yendi indigene pursuing medical studies abroad.
His announcement of a return to politics is met with enthusiasm by supporters, who have dubbed his potential comeback "The Great Return," highlighting his ongoing engagement with constituents and the unfinished development agenda.
