The Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has strongly asserted that the current challenges facing Ghana are a direct result of the choices made by citizens in the 2016 elections.

Speaking during his recent two-day tour of the Savannah Region, Mahama contended that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) gained power through deceptive and dishonest promises, leading to the hardships that Ghanaians are now experiencing.

During the tour, which included stops in key constituencies such as Daboya, Mankargu, and Lingbinshi, Mahama implored voters to pay close attention to the promises and agendas being presented by the NDC as they approach the December elections.

He reminded the electorate of the significant implications that their choices will have on the nation’s future, urging them not to repeat what he termed as the “2016 mistake” of voting the NPP into power.

Mahama enumerated several unfulfilled promises made by the current administration, characterizing them as a betrayal of the trust placed in them by the Ghanaian people.

He criticized the government for failing to address critical issues such as rising youth unemployment and escalating economic hardships, which he claimed have pushed the country toward bankruptcy.
