Accepting the title, John Mahama assured the chief that the mistakes the NDC did in the 2016 and 2020 elections are not going to be repeated.
He promised to rescue the country from the clutches of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“If in 2016 we made a mistake and then again in 2020 we made a mistake, 2024 we cannot make the same mistake because in Twi, they say ‘you don’t step several times on a fool’s something’.
“We have experienced 8 years of NPP. Things are hard farmers are suffering, everybody is suffering. Indeed there was somebody in 2016 who said ‘farmers are suffering! Teachers are suffering! Nurses are suffering! Doctors are suffering! and everybody is suffering!” he stated.
