The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, has declared that he will declare his running mate for the general elections in 2024.
He stated that the running mate selection process will take place the following year.
“Everyone knows him; he’s humble and very resourceful; he served in my government. Our party has rules for selecting a running mate; we will select the running mate next year,” Mahama said at a rally in the Bono East region.
While on the #BuildingGhanaTour, Mahama is meeting with various national stakeholders and offering a chance to establish a connection with the grassroots of the NDC and Ghanaians as a whole.
He will visit significant cities, towns, and villages as part of the tour, engaging the local populace and listening to their worries, perspectives, and hopes for a prosperous Ghana.
Meanwhile, the All People’s Congress (APC) founder, Dr. Hassan Ayariga, has claimed ownership of the 24-hour economy policy.
He claimed that the widely discussed policy was one he included in the APC’s 2020 manifesto.
According to onuaonline.com, Dr. Hassan Ayariga lamented that the policy had become a topic of national debate due to references to it made by former President Mahama and his party.
The 2020 presidential candidate then went on to offer proof for his assertion, pointing to a section in his manifesto where he promised to implement a three-shift, 24-hour production schedule.
The next NDC government, according to former president John Dramani Mahama, would implement policies encouraging businesses in Ghana to remain open for business twenty-four hours a day.
He clarified that as part of the policy measure, businesses would be given incentives to operate day and night, potentially in three shifts, which would result in more jobs for Ghana’s young people who work well together.
He continued by saying that having a police force that can guarantee business protection during the night economy is essential to putting the 24-hour economy plan into action.
