John Dramani Mahama, the candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that a new standard of governance will be implemented in Ghana if he is elected president in 2024.
A new National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, according to him, will be entirely distinct from the one Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is currently in charge of.
Former president Mahama said, “The commemoration of the June 4th uprising is to guard the survival of democracy and reflect on the current happenings in the country,” at the 44th anniversary of the uprising in Hohoe.
The former president argued that the NPP’s mismanagement of the country is harming everyday Ghanaians, and he called for a united NDC to run in the 2024 elections.
“We are responsible for organizing and letting our message of hope reach everyone across the length and breadth of our land. The dark days will last only for a moment more and a new dawn is lurking on the horizon.
“And when that new dawn breaks, the governmental rot, the economic hardships and the insensitivity to the plight of the people and the offensive corruption and waste of the people’s resources will be a thing of the past.
“Do not allow people who have made lives difficult for you all these years to mislead you with hollow sloganeering, and shallow populism. Do not allow them to confuse you that you must vote for them in 2024 because of your origin or family ties… In government, we must be different from what the NPP has been, we must set a new standard in governance so that Ghanaians will appreciate that we are not condemned as a people to live with this level of greed and impunity.”
Worlanyo Tsekpo, the NDC’s newly elected candidate for the Hohoe constituency, has pledged to win back the parliamentary seat the party lost in the 2020 elections.
