John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on Ghanaians to vote for him and his running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, in the 2024 general elections.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Mahama urged the electorate to reject the “corrupt, greedy, and arrogant” New Patriotic Party (NPP) government and bring about a change in leadership.

“Building Ghana together means rejecting the arrogance, corruption, and greed of this non-performing NPP administration that only seeks to extend the misrule and socio-economic hardships imposed on us by the Akufo-Addo Bawumia government.

“On 7th December, I will need your vote to RESET our beloved country, Ghana, fix the broken economy, create decent and well-paying jobs for the youth through the 24-hour economy initiative, and establish a National Women’s Bank to provide financial assistance to one million women businesses,” he said.

Mahama criticized the current administration, accusing it of diminishing the stature of the presidency and contributing to the nation's hardships and suffering.

He expressed his commitment to restoring the dignity and prestige of the office if elected.

“I need your vote to investigate and punish the corrupt NPP officials who have stolen and continue to steal from the poor taxpayer, scrap the COVID and E-levies, abolish ex-gratia, and reduce the size of government drastically to a maximum of sixty ministers. With your votes, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and I will restore dignity, humility, vision, and experience to the presidency.

“God bless you for deciding to vote for change on December 7.
