After experiencing the governments of both John Dramani Mahama and Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, National Chairman of the opposition NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia says the next election is a done deal for his party.
He says the very people who complained about the administration of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) under John Mahama are the same persons lamenting today.
Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues Sunday, November 5, 2023, Johnson Asiedu Nketia told host Keminni Amanor that the abysmal performance of President Akufo-Addo has made Ghanaians appreciate the leadership of the former President who is seeking a comeback to the presidency.
“They are saying that Nana Akufo-Addo’s performance is making John Mahama look like a saint,” he indicated.
Speaking further, Mr. Asiedu Nketia the Akufo-Addo government has presented Ghanaians with options and the better is to vote John Dramani Mahama as the next president of the Republic.
He added that many who criticised the NDC government years ago have now come to apologise to the NDC for chastising them.
“Those who are talking today are the same people who condemned John Dramani Mahama and over the past two years, people are coming out to apologise,” he said.
“People are coming out to say that they were misled into believing in certain things and that is a stronger vote for President John Dramani Mahama.”
The NDC flagbearer is set to face Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in a landmark elections in 2024, all other things being equal, after the latter was elected by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the weekend as its flag bearer.
He polled 61.47 per cent of the total valid votes cast to beat close contender Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and two others, former MPs, to win the presidential primaries.
In his victory speech, Dr Bawumia indicated that he has his own vision and priority and will take the concerns of Ghanaians very seriously.
He admitted that economic recovery is very much alive while GDP growth has also picked up.
