Ghana Needs An Experienced Leader To Rebuild Her Economy, Not a Try Me Candidate – Says Mahama

John Mahama

Former Ghanaian President and Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has stated that Ghana needs an experienced leader to rebuild its economy.

Going to the polls on December 7, 2024, he said Ghanaians should do everything possible to elect him because he is an experienced leader unlike other candidates who are appealing to Ghanaians to try them.

Addressing party supporters at a community engagement in Juapong in the Volta Region, Mr. Mahama pointed out the next NDC administration’s commitment to prioritize youth development.

Interestingly, he encouraged Ghanaian youth to take money from candidates who will try to deceive them with cash into voting them (politicians).

Mr. Mahama urged Ghanaians to vote the New Patriotic Party (NPP) out of power.

According to him, “Before the election, they will come with plenty of money, when they come, I beg you, take your thing back. But on the day when you go to the ballot box, remember the eight years of suffering, remember the eight years of hunger, remember the eight years of poverty and vote for the government and the president that will come and turn this nation around.”

“In 2016, they said, oh try me and if in four years I don’t do well, you can vote me out. The same thing Jack Toronto’s younger brother is saying. He too says, try me, and after four years, if I don’t do well, you can vote me out but the youth of this country do not have the time to try anybody again.”

“What we need is an experienced hand who has handled this country before and whose work we have seen. And so we are not going to try anybody. We are going back to experience, we are going back to expertise to turn our country around so that our youth can have a brighter future.”
