John Dramani Mahama is staging a comeback to the presidency as the flagbearer of the biggest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The fine gentleman was historically kicked out of power in his first term as the president of Ghana when the then opposition leader, Nana Akufo Addo won in a landslide victory in the 2016 election.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances as Covid-19 still lurks in the shadows, Ghana will head to the polls in December this year. It’s obvious the Nana Akufo led government has failed Ghanaians in translating all the promises they made before they assumed power.
Despite the good manner the President has managed the Covid-19 situation in Ghana and scoring high marks on the political scoresheet, Nana Akufo still remains unpopular and we think that gives his closest rival, John Dramani Mahama the edge.
Invariably, Nana Akufo Addo’s failings has reinforced why John Dramani Mahama should be the next option in the next election.
And since Ghanaians are often swayed by promises, we think these mouthwatering promises John Dramani Mahama has made that he says he’ll implement when he comes to power could get him the nod.
He was able to fulfill most of the promises he gave in the build up to the 2016 election and we know he can replicate the underlisted ones as well from 2021 and beyond when he wins the election.
