President Nana Akufo-Addo has criticised former President John Dramani Mahama, describing his leadership experience as a legacy of failure.
Speaking at the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) final electioneering rally at UG, Legon in the Greater Accra Region on Thursday, 5th December, the President urged Ghanaians to reject Mr Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming elections on 7th December.
President Akufo-Addo argued that Mr Mahama’s tenure as President was marked by economic challenges, policy missteps, and a lack of effective governance.
He stated that the former President had demonstrated little capacity to address the pressing issues facing Ghanaians during his time in office, casting doubt on his ability to provide solutions if re-elected.
"John Mahama’s record is one of failure,” President Akufo-Addo declared. “He presided over a collapsing economy, failed infrastructure projects, and rising unemployment.
His return to power would only take us backwards.” The President further emphasised the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) achievements in stabilising the economy, improving education through the Free SHS programme, and investing in healthcare infrastructure under the Agenda 111 initiative.
Calling for a renewed mandate for the NPP, President Akufo-Addo urged the electorate to consider the future of the country when casting their votes.
He stated that the upcoming elections present Ghanaians with a clear choice between progress under the NPP and regression under the NDC, reiterating his confidence in the NPP’s flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, as the leader to continue Ghana’s development trajectory.
