In what has become a signature gesture of generosity and grassroots connection, philanthropist and New Patriotic Party (NPP) hopeful, Mr. Awal Alhassan, has once again reached out to the people of Tamale Central. This time, in celebration of Eid, he presented over 60 bags of rice to party executives, council of elders, and constituents — a timely intervention that brought joy and relief to many households during the festive season.

The donations, which were made ahead of Eid-ul-Adha, did not only provide material support but rekindled the growing admiration for Mr. Alhassan’s style of leadership — one that is grounded in presence, empathy, and action. While many political figures wait until election years to show concern, Mr. Awal has made consistent humanitarian support a cornerstone of his relationship with the Tamale Central constituency.

Though the 2028 elections are still ahead, political observers and local stakeholders are already reading the writing on the wall: Mr. Awal Alhassan is steadily laying a credible and compassionate foundation for a parliamentary bid under the NPP ticket in Tamale Central. His interventions—ranging from food support, educational outreach, to community engagements—have repeatedly demonstrated that leadership begins long before the ballot box.

As the Eid celebrations wind down, many in the constituency are reflecting not only on their spiritual obligations but also on the enduring impact of a man who continues to give without being in office. One beneficiary at the distribution centre put it plainly: “If this is how he behaves before becoming MP, then we can only imagine the transformation he will bring when he gets there.” Indeed, as far as political goodwill goes, Mr. Awal Alhassan is not just building hope — he’s living it.
