Former President John Dramani Mahama has said he will be surprised to see Ghanaians vote for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) come December 7, 2024, looking at the monumental failure of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration in the last seven and half years.
In the view of the 2024 presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), the Akufo-Addo administration is the “biggest political scam of the 4th republic.”
Mr Mahama made this comment as part of his “Building the Ghana We Want” tour at Nalerigu in the North East Region, on Tuesday, April 16.
“Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration is the biggest political scam in the history of the 4th republic. Ghanaians are called upon again on 7th December 2024 to exercise their mandate and make a choice. And after what we have gone through in 7 and a half years, it surprises me [that] anybody will still go to the ballot box and say he’s going to vote for NPP again,” he said.
Based on his rating of the incumbent administration, Mr Mahama believes those who’ll vote for the NPP on December 7, 2024, are likely to be persons who have directly or indirectly benefited from the goodies of the administration.
The former President is asking Ghanaians to vote wisely since they have only witnessed retrogression under the leadership of Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s presidential candidate for election 2024.
“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 a half years.”
