The National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, has once again positioned himself as the leader capable of rescuing Ghana’s struggling economy.

He promises bold reforms and a comprehensive economic revival if elected president in the upcoming December 7 general elections.

During a three-day campaign tour of the Upper West Region, Mahama addressed enthusiastic crowds in Nadowli and Wichaw, delivering a message of hope, resilience, and renewal.

Mahama described the economic situation as dire, attributing it to what he termed the gross mismanagement of the economy by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the past eight years.

He argued that, the NPP’s policies have exacerbated financial difficulties for many Ghanaians, especially the youth, who have been most affected by rising unemployment, stagnant wages, and a lack of economic opportunities.

“NDC is going to come and fix the economy. So I know a lot of young people are losing hope. A lot of young people say, look, we don’t see any future in this country. And I can understand you. After what has happened these last 8 years, you are justified to lose hope in your country.

“But I stand here as the former president and the incoming president of Ghana to appeal to all the young people. You are my children—many of you are the same age as my sons. I urge you not to lose hope. This country will rise again.”
