John Dramani Mahama, the flag bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), says a change of government in the December elections will be a win not only for his political party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), but for the country as a whole.

He stated that a change in government will put Ghana back on track for progress and prosperity.

According to Mr Mahama, Ghana’s economic problems are the product of mismanagement by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration.

He believes that the only way to repair the nation is to “kick out” the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia-led administration in December.

Mr Mahama stated in a live broadcast on social media on Sunday [June 9], titled ‘Mahama Conversations,’ that the 2024 elections would be between “Ghana and the New Patriotic Party”.

He stated that by voting out the current ruling party, citizens will be able to develop the country they desire while also creating well-paying jobs for young people.

This, he continued, will be accomplished through the 24 hour economy effort and many other creative policies that the NDC plans to implement.

“It is an election for change to reset Ghana’s narrative.. This change is ordained by God to relieve our people from the hardship and poverty that has been inflicted by President Akufo Addo and Dr Bawumia’s reckless administration”, he said.

He added that a change in government will further “abort the plan to force Dr Bawumia on Ghanaians.”

“My dear youth, the best of Ghana is yet to come and I have hope for the future. Particularly as I return to the presidency as the experienced, visionary and decisive leader ready to build the Ghana we want together with you,” he said.

Mr Mahama stated that voting against President Akufo-Addo’s administration will allow the NDC government to probe the “many corruption and scandals in the current administration.”

“This change will also see the most far-reaching and detailed investigation of the many allegations of corruption and scandals leveled against public officials and their families and friends. This change will help to abort this administration’s plan to impose a pliant Vice President to cover up for them, thereby escaping the searing scrutiny of accountability.

“However, as I have stated, this hot spotlight of accountability is reserved not only for this administration’s appointees. It will also be available to sanction persons in my administration who engage in similar conduct. The same anti-corruption strategies and instruments I shall deploy to measure and punish the NPP government will also apply to my appointees,” Mahama said.
