Former President John Dramani Mahama
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says a vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidate, is an endorsement of continued economic hardship.
During a community engagement in Enchi in the Aowin constituency to kick-start his Western North Region campaign tour, Mr. Mahama claimed that supporting Bawumia would signify backing poor governance, highlighting economic challenges under Bawumia’s tenure as Vice President.
“A vote for Bawumia means you are happy with the mismanagement of our finances, our increased debt stock, and the current sufferings. And so if you are displeased with what is happening, you’ll have to vote them out of office,” former President Mahama said.
He jested that the elephant, the emblem of the governing New Patriotic Party, belonged in the forests and not in town where people reside.
Former President Mahama reiterated that the state of the economy was tough for Ghanaians, including businesspersons who were experiencing sluggish growth in their businesses.
