The 2024 flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has once again criticized the state of Ghana's economy under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Mahama asserted that President Akufo-Addo did not inherit a problematic situation, attributing the current challenges to what he described as the "clueless economic management team and finance minister" of the current administration.

Encouraging Ghanaians to vote against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December general elections, Mahama highlighted the achievements of his administration before the NPP took office in 2016.

Expressing disappointment that the Akufo-Addo-led administration continued to blame his previous government for their failures, Mahama defended his term, stating that the state of the economy during his leadership was far better than the current situation under the Nana Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.

Mahama stated, “You didn’t inherit a mess; it is your clueless economic management team and finance minister that created the mess we are experiencing today.”

Emphasizing his economic successes, Mahama positioned himself as the most qualified candidate for leading the nation after the December general elections.

He urged Ghanaians to reject what he considers the NPP's rhetoric, emphasizing that the country has not made substantial progress as recently portrayed.
