The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has claimed that his party will solve the myriad difficulties plaguing ordinary Ghanaians.
According to John Mahama, a journey across the country before of the party’s primaries offered him the opportunity to learn about the hardships Ghanaians face 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 thank God for travelling mercies and ask him to continue to protect us always. We know that God will make things well in his own time. If we had won the 2020 elections, this haircut and IMF wahala will be on our heads. I thank God that I went round the country to witness the challenges our people are faced with. This will prepare us so that when by the grace of God we are able to steer the affairs of this country again, we will address these challenges. Going round has shaken the base of the party and made it ready for what we are going to face in 2024,” he said.
NDC officials, MPs, and bigwigs were present for the thanksgiving service.
During the party’s presidential and parliamentary primaries, the former president received 98.9 percent of the votes.
He was running against former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu until the former dropped out a few hours before the May 13 primary.
Dr. Duffuor noted problems with the voter registration list and the photo book.
Before the Electoral Commission declared Mr. Mahama’s victory, Kojo Bonsu congratulated him on his landslide victory in
