Professor Joshua Alabi, the campaign manager for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, has stated that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, does not threaten the NDC’s prospects in the upcoming general elections.

Professor Alabi attributes his confidence to the perceived shortcomings of the Akufo-Addo administration in fulfilling its promises to Ghanaians. 

He argued that Vice President Bawumia's economic policies have failed to yield positive outcomes, eroding voter trust in his leadership.

In an interview with Citi FM following his reappointment as the campaign manager for the NDC’s 2024 campaign, Professor Alabi emphasised that Bawumia and the NPP do not pose a significant challenge to John Dramani Mahama. 

He expressed strong confidence in his team's readiness and strategy to secure Mahama's return to the presidency, which he believes will benefit Ghana.

“You have somebody who promised people one village, one dam and you don’t see it; one constituency, one million dollars, you don’t see it; one child, one chocolate, you don’t see it; one child, one laptop, you don’t see it; all these are practical things. You don’t even see anything moving on, then Ghanaians have had enough of Dr. Bawumia and his economic theory."

“We all know the performance of John Dramani Mahama when he was in office, the massive infrastructural development he did. I am very confident that we will get our flagbearer to the seat of government," he said.
