Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has passionately called on Ghanaians to vote against the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming general elections on December 7.
Addressing a rally in the Savannah Region as part of his nationwide campaign tour, Mahama criticized the NPP government, led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for what he described as the mismanagement of the country’s economy, resulting in widespread financial hardship for citizens.
Mahama stressed that to bring about meaningful change and provide relief to the people, Ghanaians must vote out the NPP.
He accused the government of economic incompetence and a refusal to take responsibility for the current challenges, pointing to the depreciation of the cedi and the rising prices of essential goods, such as cement, as evidence of mismanagement.
He urged Ghanaians to reject the NPP, stating that despite clear signs of economic decline, the ruling party continues to claim it is the better manager of the economy, citing discrepancies such as the exchange rate and cost of basic commodities during their tenure.
He urged voters to use these economic hardships as a reason to reject the NPP in the upcoming elections.
“This is the government that does not accept its fault. Despite all that has happened in this country, they don’t accept that they have created hardship. They don’t accept that they have mismanaged the economy. They still go and sit on the radio and say, we are the better managers of the economy.”
“Better managers of the economy, you took the dollar from GH¢4 to $1 to GH¢17 to $1 and you say you are better managers of the economy. You took cement from GH¢24 per bag to GH¢110 per bag and you say you are better managers of the economy,” he insisted.
