John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasized the historic importance of the 2024 elections for Ghana in a personal appeal to the Manhyia Palace leadership.
As part of his ongoing campaign tour in the Ashanti region, Mahama visited Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on Tuesday, December 3. While there, he asked the Asantehene and other prominent persons to embrace initiatives that promote sustainable development and maintain national unity.
He highlighted how the next elections had the power to influence the course of the country’s democracy and called them a turning point.
“We’ve voted eight times in this country but Saturday is different because considering where we are as a country, we need to vote wisely and as I said yesterday sometimes when the war is difficult army generals on retirement can be called back.
“So Nana, I am on retirement and resting, but my party says that given the state of Ghana, we need experienced leaders to rescue the country. So, they elected me as flagbearer to lead the party and go to the polls.”
Mahama also emphasized the Ashanti Region’s crucial role in his party’s vision and reaffirmed his commitment to it.
He also criticized the government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for failing to complete significant projects that were initiated during their tenure.
