The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has full confidence in former President John Dramani Mahama’s victory in the 2024 elections.
He firmly believes that the current government’s presented options pale in comparison to the prospect of voting Mr. Mahama back to power.
Nketia pointed out that some of Mr. Mahama’s strongest critics during his presidency have already apologized to him in recent years, and this could translate to a significant number of strong votes for him in 2024.
“Those who are talking today are the same people who condemned John Dramani Mahama and over the past two years, people are coming out to apologise,” the NDC National Chairman stated on TV3‘s Hot Issues on Sunday, November 5
“People are coming out to say that they were misled into believing in certain things and that is a stronger vote for President John Dramani Mahama.”
The NDC flagbearer is set to face Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in a landmark elections in 2024, all things being equal, after the latter was elected by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the weekend as its flagbearer
He polled 61.47 percent of the total valid votes cast to beat close contender Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and two others, former MPs, to win the presidential primaries.
In his victory speech, Dr Bawumia indicated that he has his own vision and priority and will take the concerns of Ghanaians very seriously.
He admitted that economic recovery is very much alive while GDP growth has also picked up.
But Mr Asiedu Nketia insisted that a lot of people have experienced the two governments and their choice is for his party’s candidate.
“They are saying that Nana Akufo-Addo’s performance is making John Mahama look like a saint.”
