Economist Kwame Pianim has backed President John Mahama as the most capable leader to navigate the nation's current challenges.

This follows a productive engagement between the President and the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) at the Jubilee House today.

Mr Pianim described Mahama's leadership style as exceptional and responsive, particularly commending his hands-on approach to addressing educators' concerns.

“Here we tend to underpay our teachers but with you as a listening president, I was happy when they were coming; they said let’s go and talk to the president — I said with this president if he tells you he is going to do something, he will do it,” Pianim stated.

Comparing him to previous administrations, Mr Pianim indicated that "someone told them he was going to give them 10,000 houses, they got zero."

"I told them this is a listening president,” he explained.

Mr Pianim urged Ghanaians to rally behind the President's RESET campaign.

“Of the 35, 36 million Ghanaians alive, you are the only one who can reset Ghana for us. I have been talking to the other people on the other side; when I put on my political hat, all of us have to make democracy work and support you because if you fail us — this is a historic opportunity for Ghana to get on the right path.”
