Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has voiced confidence in the party’s capability to rectify the economic challenges instigated by the "incompetent Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government."

Emphasising the nation’s requirement for a visionary leader with a proven track record, Mahama underscored the quality of leadership within the NDC, affirming their capacity to positively influence the country’s trajectory.

During a courtesy visit to the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi, Mahama highlighted the criticality of the upcoming 2024 general elections and the imperative for a truthful government.

He stressed the importance of integrity in governance, advocating for a transparent and truthful administration.

Furthermore, Mahama assured the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Abubakari Mahama II, that if the NDC secures power, they will prioritise addressing the Yendi water challenge, among other national issues.

“Today, our country Ghana is in crisis, we all know the hardships, pains, and sufferings our people are going through.

"So the elections of 2024, this year is one of the most crucial elections in the history of Ghana. We need a competent, selfless, honest, truthful government that will come and lead Ghana out of the mess into which it has been thrown by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government.

“I’m confident that NDC has the men and women to turn our fortunes around and make Ghana stand back on its feet.”

In response, the Yaa Naa advised the NDC flagbearer to conduct a clean campaign void of insults and derogatory remarks, citing its significance in maintaining peace in the country.

Speaking on behalf of the Yaa Naa, Naa Jacob Mahama urged the former president to ensure post-election tranquillity, emphasising the need for a peaceful and harmonious nation.

"I want to congratulate you and Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President, for a clean campaign so far. He was here last year, and I admonished him to lead a clean campaign with you, devoid of name-calling and bitterness."

"Today I’m giving you the same advice, you have no other brother beside you. Being on the opposite of the political divide does not make you enemies, it rather enriches the politics of the family," he urged Mr Mahama.
