Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has stated that his outfit will address the numerous challenges confronting the ordinary Ghanaian.
John Mahama says a tour across the country ahead of the party’s primaries gave him the opportunity to know the hardship Ghanaians are going through under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
Mr. Mahama stated at a thanksgiving ceremony at the Assemblies of God Church’s Ringway Gospel Centre that the NDC is set to lessen the burden on the citizens if he wins the 2024 general elections.
“We praise God for his travelling mercies and beg that he continue to protect us forever.” We know that God will make everything right in his time. If we had won the 2020 elections, we would have had this haircut and the IMF wahala on our heads. I thank God that I was able to go around the country and experience the difficulties that our people suffer. This will prepare us for the day when, by the grace of God, we shall be able to guide the affairs of our country once more.
In attendance at the thanksgiving service were NDC executives, MPs and bigwigs.
The former president during the party’s presidential and parliamentary primaries secured 98.9 percent of the votes at the NDC primaries.
He was in the race with a former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and a former Mayor of Kumasi, Kojo Bonsu until the former pulled out a few hours before the Saturday, May 13 primaries.
Dr. Duffuor cited irregularities with the voters’ register and the photo album.
Before a declaration by the Electoral Commission to confirm Mr. Mahama’s victory, Kojo Bonsu congratulated him for winning the party’s flagbearership race with a landslide victory.
