Presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has said that the youth of Ghana do not have the luxury of what he termed as trial and error in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Speaking during a courtesy call on Chiefs of Wicheau in the Wa West constituency in the Upper East Region, the former president noted the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has performed poorly in the last eight years and shouldn’t be rewarded with success.
According to him, the choice Ghanaians made during 2016 is a great lesson for the electorate to inform their next decision in the polls following a plethora of unfulfilled promises.
We tried him [Akufo-Addo] in 2016, and the result is what we’re seeing today. So, where the country is today is not an issue of trial and error. We need an experienced hand to take this country and put it back on its feet,” Mahama said.
He stressed that the upcoming 2024 elections would be crucial in deciding the future of Ghana, particularly for the youth who, according to Mahama, no longer have the luxury of gambling with their future. He reiterated that experienced leadership, like his, was necessary to guide the country through its current economic difficulties and set it on the right path.
In his remarks, Mahama expressed his determination to restore confidence in Ghana’s governance and economic recovery, urging voters to reject the idea of political experimentation and choose leaders with proven track records.
