The August 12 event, which drew a crowd of residents, youth, and party sympathizers, provided a platform for discussions on pressing national issues ahead of the 2024 election.

The town hall also saw notable participation from various social media influencers who posed pertinent questions to Mr. Mahama.

Their inquiries covered a wide range of topics, reflecting the diverse concerns of the Ghanaian public.

Among the key issues raised were the state of the economy, internet infrastructure, and youth employment.

Influencers such as KalyJay, SDK, veteran boxers Bukom Banku and Ayitey Powers questioned Mr. Mahama on his plans to address the high cost of living and improve economic conditions for ordinary Ghanaians and sports.

There was another interesting moment where the NDC flagbearer retold a joke by comedian DKB to the resounding cheers of the gathering.

They also sought clarity on his vision for advancing technology and internet accessibility, which are crucial for the country’s development and digital economy.

In response, John Mahama outlined his commitment to addressing these challenges through targeted policies and reforms.

He emphasized the need for a more robust economic strategy to alleviate the financial strain on citizens and pledged to enhance internet infrastructure to support digital growth and innovation in all spheres, including the creative arts industry.

The collaboration will see the influencer host international artistes on his Twitter space under the title KalyJay’s Space.

So far, Kalyjay has featured many top African stars such as Sarkodie, D Black, Tiwa Savage, Darkovibes, Joe Boy, Wendy Shay, and Mona4real among other acts making waves across the continent.

The ‘KalyJay Space’ is a virtual chatroom on Twitter space where artist and their fans interact in real-time.

Having meaningful discussions and sharing knowledge about the creative industry allows for a more industry-oriented fanbase with massive organic reach.

Meanwhile, Grammys’ Richardine Bartee will now be the co-host of KalyJay’s Twitter space to interview all the international acts who appear as guests on the show.

Part of the communique read:

Equal to this collaborative objective, we are looking forward to having twice the fun and vibe on Kalyjay’s Space with our favorite celebrities not only from Ghana, but from Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, the UK and more.
