John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has responded to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's call urging Ghanaians not to vote for him in the upcoming December 2024 general election.
President Akufo-Addo expressed concerns that electing Mr. Mahama would jeopardize the progress made during his tenure, reiterating his endorsement of Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the ideal presidential candidate during a mini rally in Doboro, Eastern region, after visiting Blue Skies Limited.
In a social media post, Mr. Mahama fired back, stating his reluctance to continue with what he termed as President Akufo-Addo's legacy of corruption, misgovernance, arrogance, ineptitude, and a bankrupt economy.
He highlighted the adverse effects of President Akufo-Addo's policies, pointing to the increase in poverty among Ghanaians during the current administration.
"Of course, I will not protect your 'legacy' of corruption, misgovernance, arrogance, ineptitude, bankrupt economy, increased unemployment, and pushing more of our people into the poverty bracket," Mahama wrote.
