Former President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) recently responded to remarks made by New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Bawumia had labeled Mahama as a “second-hand vehicle” in comparison to his own image as a “brand-new tear rubber President,” suggesting that Mahama’s leadership experience is outdated.
Mahama, however, embraced Bawumia’s analogy, arguing that second-hand vehicles often prove to be more reliable and enduring than brand new ones.
In a speech at Nyankwoantre in the Sene East constituency, Mahama suggested that his experience and proven track record make him a robust and dependable choice.
“I accept that I am a second-hand vehicle, second-hand vehicles have shown quality and experience than brand new ones,” John Mahama said while speaking in Nyankwoantre of Sene East constituency
Meanwhile, Dr. Bawumia, speaking at a stakeholder engagement in Kasoa, asserted that his tenure as Vice President has been marked by significant achievements, citing 33 policies he implemented.
He argued that these accomplishments set him apart from Mahama, who, according to Bawumia, lacks similar achievements from his time as Vice President.
Bawumia urged voters to choose him for a fresh start, contrasting his newness with Mahama’s seasoned experience.
