President Nana Akufo-Addo says the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, does not deserve to win the December polls because he lacks new ideas.
He referenced Mr Mahama’s previous track record, highlighting his defeat in his second attempt at reelection as evidence of his unsuitability for the presidency.
Speaking at the unveiling of NPP running mate Matthew Opoku Prempeh on Tuesday, the President drew comparisons with former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, and himself, who all served two terms.
Akufo-Addo emphasised that Mahama’s rejection in his second term demonstrates his lack of fitness for the role.
“Since the 4th republic, Jerry John Rawlings was allowed to serve for his second term, John Agyekum Kufuor was also allowed to serve for two terms, and me, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has also been allowed to serve for two terms.
"However, he [Mahama] was rejected for his second term and he’s now asking for a second chance. We won’t consider him for the presidency, either today or tomorrow.”
“He talks as if we don’t know his track record. He has nothing new to offer. We know his track record and he has nothing new for Ghanaians.
"We saw what he did during his tenure in office which led to his defeat in his second attempt. After realizing he was not fit for the job, why should we vote for him now? We won’t!”
