President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has advised Ghanaians not to vote for the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) flagbearer, former President John Dramani Mahama, in the forthcoming December 7, 2024 elections.
According to Akufo-Addo, Mahama is the only president of the Fourth Republic to have been removed from office after serving just one term, during the unveiling of his party’s vice presidential candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, in Kumasi on Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
He claimed that Mahama should never be let to hold public office again as he was ousted from office due to his subpar performance.
“Let us remember one thing, the person we are contesting against – the leader of the NDC – since the inception of the fourth republic (1992), General Rawlings was president for two successive terms; John Agyekum Kufuor, two successive terms; Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, two successive terms; he (Mahama) is the only person who got one term.
“And he is the same person saying that we should make him president again,” the president said in Twi.
He added, “Someone we removed from power without any effort now wants us to bring him back to the presidency; it is not going to happen. We are not taking him back today, we are not taking him back tomorrow.”
