The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has confidently proclaimed himself as the bearer of the number 8, urging those who intend to “break the 8” to substantiate their assertions.
During his campaign tour, Mahama addressed artisans at the Konkonpe Spare Parts Line in the Ablekuma North Constituency of Greater Accra.
He highlighted his newfound connection to the number 8, which has become a significant symbol in the current political discourse.
“They are now shying away from breaking the 8 because I hold the eight,” he said
Mahama’s statements serve as a direct challenge to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which is seeking to “break the 8” by securing a third consecutive term in the upcoming 2024 elections.
“If they say they want to break the 8, let them try and do so for me to see, because I am now the holder of the number 8,” Mahama asserted.
Alongside his symbolic message, Mahama assured the artisans that the next NDC government would implement a fixed-rate system at Ghana’s ports.
He emphasized that this measure would create a transparent and efficient process for importing goods, ultimately benefiting both local businesses and importers.
