I’ll be surprised if anyone votes for NPP again – Mahama
“One, because of the experience that I’ve been president before, and two, because I have had the opportunity to reflect on my period as president and it gives me a focus on things that we need to do to turn around the fortunes of our country as quickly as possible.”
Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that he would be shocked if anyone votes for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.
According to Mr. Mahama, this is a result of the hardship that Ghanaians have gone through in the period the NPP has been in power under the Akufo-led government.
Speaking during his “Building the Ghana We Want Tour” in Bunkpurugu in the North East Region on Monday, April 15, 2024, expressed optimism that the NDC will be voted for massively to win power in December.
“After what we have gone through in seven and half years, it surprises me if anybody who will still go to the ballot and say he is going to vote for the NPP again,” he stated.
“Maybe, those who have made money under this government, yes, they will go and vote again but I know that the majority of Ghanaians have seen a reversal in the quality of their lives in these seven and half years. The majority of Ghaians who are feeling the pinch, the majority of Ghanaians are finding it difficult to put food on the table for their children, the majority of Ghanaians are finding it difficult to travel because they cannot afford transport fairs, the drivers of this country who cannot buy fuel, the teachers who do not have learning aids in school, the nurses who have finished school and are sitting home, I know that a majority of those people will make a good choice and the viable option and I know that by grace of God, the viable option is the NDC,” he said.
He also added that he stands tall among all the other candidates because of the experience he has had in leading the country before.
“On reflection, I’ve been out of office for eight years. It allows me to look back and look at some of the things that we could have done better and not everybody gets that opportunity, that you become president, you go out of office and you get the opportunity to come back again. So, I know that in the four years coming, I will be a much better president than even the first time when I was president.
“One, because of the experience that I’ve been president before, and two, because I have had the opportunity to reflect on my period as president and it gives me a focus on things that we need to do to turn around the fortunes of our country as quickly as possible.”
