Leader of the Osofo Kyiri Abosom Ministries and founder of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Osofo Kyiri Abosom, has vowed to dissolve his party and join the Nationla Democratic Congress if President Mahama continues to deliver on his promises to Ghanains.

According to him, he will make that decision when the country is heading to the 2028 presidential polls.

“He has done very well, and I am happy with his style of leadership. What he is doing right now will help the country. If John Mahama can continue his good work, I will put GUM on hold during election time and join the NDC,” he said.

North Tongu's Member of Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has affirmed his confidence that the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama, will fulfill the promised 24-hour economy policy.

Ablakwa emphasized that this policy is the solution to Ghana's economic challenges, as it prioritizes industrialization and job creation. He urged Ghanaians to unite in support of this initiative for the betterment of the country.

“We have a transformational leader in former President Mahama, who is dynamic, who is visionary, who gets the job done. He is the one who gets results, so when he says he will deliver a 24-hour economy, you know you can trust him”, Mr. Ablakwa said while speaking to JoyNews at the NDC’s stand at the ongoing 6th Volta Trade and Investment Fair in Ho.

Mr. Ablakwa emphasized the viability of implementing a 24-hour economy, citing examples from advanced nations and suggesting that Ghana could follow suit. He outlined the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) approach to this policy, highlighting the implementation of a 3-shift system for both public and private companies to sustain continuous economic activity.

Ablakwa clarified that private enterprises participating in the 24-hour economy initiative would receive various incentives, including tax rebates and discounted utility rates, to facilitate the adoption of the proposed 3-shift system.

Contrary to a claim by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the 24-hour economy is already in practice, Ablakwa refuted this assertion. He dismissed the government's 2024 budget, which focused on the night economy, as an incomplete policy introduced as an afterthought.

“There is no 24-hour economy in practice, there is no such policy. I am a Member of Parliament, where is the blueprint, where is the policy, where is the legislation that is backing their so-called 24-hour economy? It doesn't exist.

"They continue with the dishonesty and the last time their candidate sought to confirm that this [24-hour economy] exists he was talking about chop bars, that there are a few chop bars operating at night. We [NDC] are not talking about Bawumia’s chop bars, we are talking about a whole economic transformation”, he stressed.

Deputy National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Osman Ayariga, has assured Ghanaians that the party, under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama, will fulfil all its promises if it wins the 2024 general elections.

In a media interview on Tuesday, August 13, Ayariga emphasized the NDC's commitment to tackling the critical issues facing the nation, especially those affecting the youth.

Highlighting the NDC’s Youth Manifesto, Ayariga pointed out that the party has laid out key policies focused on job creation, improving education, and providing opportunities for young people.

He assured that the party's leadership is dedicated to fully implementing these policies, reinforcing the NDC's track record of delivering on its promises when in government.

"I understand the skepticism the launch of our youth manifesto has received, but you know we know the plan we have for this country, and we are committed to implementing all our promises for the benefit of the Ghanaian people. Ghanaians can trust us to deliver. We are not like the NPP. Visionary Mahama is committed and will deliver all his promises to Ghanaians," Ayariga affirmed.

Addressing the current economic challenges, Ayariga criticized the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he described as "economic mismanagement," which he believes has led to widespread hardship across the country.

He argued that the NDC’s policies are designed to restore economic stability and bring relief to Ghanaians, particularly the most vulnerable.

Ayariga also called on the youth to actively participate in the upcoming elections, urging them to vote for the NDC as the party that truly represents their interests.

He emphasized the crucial role of young people in shaping the country's future, stating that their support is essential for ensuring the NDC's victory.
