Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama in a Facebook post welcoming the new month
of September has promised a visionary and selfless leadership different
from the approach of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in his next administration.
The former President mentioned that the current Akufo-Addo
government have completely eroded Ghana’s democratic goodwill, noting that he
will make a difference when given the nod to lead again.
“The actions and incompetent governance of Nana
Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have completely eroded Ghana’s democratic goodwill.
Political credibility is at an all-time low, never experienced in the history
of the 4th Republic.” He noted.
Adding that, I can assure you that the John Mahama
administration from January 7, 2025, will be different. I promise visionary and
selfless leadership and not the business-as-usual approach of the NPP.
Here is the full post from the former head of state.
“The actions and
incompetent governance of Nana Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have completely eroded
Ghana’s democratic goodwill. Political credibility is at an all-time low, never
experienced in the history of the 4th Republic.”
“The upcoming December 07, 2024, election is therefore
crucial to restoring faith in our constitutional democracy. I maintain that the
poor leadership of Akufo-Addo and Bawumia must be held accountable for the
corruption and deteriorating conditions under their watch over the last almost seven
years”.
“But we cannot ensure accountability with the same
party and its officials who brought us to this tipping point still in charge.”
“Of course, I can assure you that the John Mahama
administration from January 7, 2025, will be different. I promise visionary and
selfless leadership and not the business-as-usual approach of the NPP.”
“Welcome to a new month, September 2023. We have 463
days more for the people’s true verdict on December 07, 2024. Let’s keep our
democracy intact.”
The NDC is presenting the former president as its
candidate for the 2024 general election.This attempt will be the fourth time Mr
Mahama will be contesting for the high office of president, He won during his
first attempt in 2012 and lost both the 2016 and 2020 polls to current
President Akufo-Addo.
