The flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s flagebearer, John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming December 7 polls.
Addressing clergy members in the Northern Region, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of not electing John Dramani Mahama, citing concerns over his potential single-term presidency and subsequent lack of accountability.
Expressing his commitment to an 8-year term, Dr. Bawumia outlined his dedication to fulfilling promises within the initial four years to earn another term, contrasting this with what he perceives as Mahama’s likelihood to disappear from public view after a single term.
Dr. Bawumia’s remarks underscore his belief that voters will receive greater accountability from him compared to his opponent, John Dramani Mahama.
“For me, because I am looking for an 8-year term, I have to work very hard in the first four years so that when I come back, you will say, oh yes, you did what you said you were going to do. We will give you another four years.
“But for my main opponent [John Dramani Mahama], when you give him four years, that is it. He doesn’t have to come back again. You won’t see him again, especially after he takes his honeymoon, you will not see him after four years.
“So you will get more accountability from me than from him.”
