The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has urged Ghanaians to cast their votes for him and his running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Mahama called on voters to reject what he described as the “corrupt, greedy, and arrogant” government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He emphasized the need for a change in leadership to address the socio-economic challenges exacerbated by the current administration.
“Building Ghana together means rejecting the arrogance, corruption, and greed of this non-performing NPP administration that only seeks to extend the misrule and socio-economic hardships imposed on us by the Akufo-Addo Bawumia government.
He criticized the NPP government for what he sees as a decline in the dignity of the presidency and the worsening conditions faced by Ghanaians.
“On 7th December, I will need your vote to RESET our beloved country, Ghana, fix the broken economy, create decent and well-paying jobs for the youth through the 24-hour economy initiative, and establish a National Women’s Bank to provide financial assistance to one million women businesses,” he said.
Mahama condemned the present administration, alleging it has undermined the presidency’s stature and exacerbated the nation’s challenges and suffering.
He vowed to restore the dignity and honor of the office should he be elected.
“I need your vote to investigate and punish the corrupt NPP officials who have stolen and continue to steal from the poor taxpayer, scrap the COVID and E-levies, abolish ex-gratia, and reduce the size of government drastically to a maximum of sixty ministers. With your votes, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and I will restore dignity, humility, vision, and experience to the presidency.
“God bless you for deciding to vote for change on December 7.
John Dramani Mahama.”
