Election 2024: I’ll be surprised if anyone votes NPP after 8 years of hardship – Mahama

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that he will be surprised if the ordinary Ghanaian votes for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the December 7 general elections.

The former president cited the wanton dissipation of government resources and untold economic hardships brought onto Ghanaians by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government as evident enough for Ghanaians to reject the NPP come December 7.

Also, Mr. Mahama criticised the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration for making unrealistic promises to Ghanaians, leading to the country’s massive debts.

“The hypocrisy that is annoying is that this is the same government where somebody said that if it was just borrowing and spending, even their child in primary school can be president,” the former president derided the current Vice President, Dr. Bawumia.

“Every sector is in trouble all the state-owned enterprises that were making profit under the NDC administration, today, all of them making losses. This government has been a disaster,” said Mr. Mahama.

He further described the Akufo-Addo government as “the biggest political scam in the history of the fourth republic.”

According to Mr. Mahama, the NPP government under President Akufo-Addo propagated “lies and deceit” to hoodwink Ghanaians into voting them into power.

He emphasised that except for individuals who may have “made money under this government, they will go and vote [NPP] again,” but the NDC flagbearer is confident that “the majority of Ghanaians have seen a reversal in the quality of their lives in these seven and a half years,” and those individuals will reject the NPP.
