President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), should not win the upcoming December elections due to his perceived lack of innovative ideas.
Akufo-Addo pointed to Mahama’s past performance, particularly his defeat during his second attempt at reelection, as proof of his inadequacy for the presidency.
During the event to introduce the New Patriotic Party (NPP) running mate Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Akufo-Addo compared Mahama to former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, and himself, all of whom served two terms.
Akufo-Addo underscored that Mahama’s inability to secure a second term signifies his unsuitability for the position.
“Since the 4th republic, Jerry John Rawlings was allowed to serve for his second term, John Agyekum Kuffuor was also allowed to serve for two terms and me, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has also been allowed to serve for two terms.
However, he [Mahama] was rejected for his second term and he’s now asking for a second chance. We won’t consider him for the presidency, either today or tomorrow.”
“He talks as if we don’t know his track record. He has nothing new to offer. We know his track record and he has nothing new for Ghanaians.
“We saw what he did during his tenure in office which led to his defeat in his second attempt, after realising he was not fit for the job, why should we vote for him now? We won’t!”
