“Don’t Vote for a Mate Who Learned from a Wicked and Clueless Driver” -John Mahama

In a passionate appeal to voters, John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged Ghanaians to reject leadership that lacks experience and vision. His message is clear: Ghana needs a seasoned leader, not a novice who learned from a “wicked and clueless driver”.

Mahama’s warning stems from his deep understanding of Ghana’s current economic woes. He believes that the country requires a trusted team to spearhead efforts to change its economic fortunes, not an experimental leader. With Ghana’s economy struggling, Mahama emphasizes the need for experienced leadership to navigate the challenges ahead.

Mahama’s own track record speaks volumes. During his tenure, Ghana enjoyed a sound economy, marked by sustainable public debt, with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 55.6%. The country also had a stable credit rating of B-, a low budget deficit of 6.1%, a declining inflation rate around 15%, and a stable currency with a depreciation rate of 9%. Additionally, Ghana’s industry experienced significant growth.

As Ghanaians prepare to head to the polls, Mahama’s message is timely. He urges voters to consider the stakes and reject leadership that lacks the experience and vision to drive Ghana forward. Instead, he offers a proven track record of economic stability and growth.

In his own words, Mahama has pledged to promote responsible mining, protect Ghana’s natural resources, and ensure that small-scale mining is done in a manner that doesn’t harm the environment. His commitment to Ghana’s progress is unwavering.

As the election approaches, Ghanaians must weigh their options carefully. Will they choose a seasoned leader with a proven track record, or risk their future on an untested novice? The choice is clear.
