Labor unions have expressed their commitment to offering support and flexibility to the next government, provided that the political party aligns its expenditures with available resources and avoids unnecessary spending.

The unions stand for responsible fiscal management and financial prudence.

This stance comes in response to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, who has requested a "honeymoon" period from Ghanaians, especially trade and labor groups, should his party regain power.

Mahama emphasized the importance of time to revive the economy before addressing specific demands.

Following former President John Mahama's appeal for a "honeymoon" period, the President of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) - University of Ghana Chapter, Prof Ransford Gyampo, has indicated that the association would only contemplate granting such a period if Mahama demonstrates a genuine commitment to tightening government expenses.

It is his hope that the next government “wouldn’t be seen or be heard talking, telling labour to tighten their belt while you and your appointees will be living in opulence, as we keep seeing now."

"So what is going to be the size of the government? Are they going to be selling vehicles that may be bequeathed to them by the current administration? I mean, if some of these things are done, we will not get the support from labour," he added.

Meanwhile, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the spokesperson for John Mahama, has assured that the former President is prepared to exercise control over government expenditure if he receives the support.
