John Dramami Mahama, flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on Ghanaian workers to use the upcoming elections to alter their “current trajectory and set a new course.”
John Mahama says the December polls offer Ghanaian workers the opportunity to change the NPP government that has offered them nothing but “poor governance, incompetence, economic mismanagement, and institutionalised corruption.”
Lauding the efforts of the workers in contributing to the progress of the nation’s development, John Mahama in a Workers’ Day message shared on his Facebook indicated that the theme for this year’s celebration is a reminder to them that they have a responsibility in changing their fortunes through the pending democratic exercise.
“Our Workers’ Day theme, “Elections 2024: The Role of Workers and Social Partners in Securing Peaceful Elections for National Development,” is a crucial reminder this year. It underscores your indispensable role in fostering a peaceful, democratic process as we approach the 2024 elections. Your dedication to maintaining fair and peaceful elections is not only a duty but a shared responsibility essential for our nation’s stability and prosperity.
“However, today’s celebration is tempered by our country’s severe challenges because of poor governance, incompetence, economic mismanagement, and institutionalised corruption under the current administration. Never in our history has a democratically elected government taken a wrecking ball to our economy with such ferocity.
“The forthcoming elections on December 7 offer us a pivotal opportunity to alter our current trajectory and set a new course. During my first tenure as President, I steered the affairs of this nation through similarly challenging times. We overcame a significant energy crisis, implemented a universal salary structure, spearheaded transformative infrastructural developments, and built a more resilient economy,” he stated.
