The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has made a commitment to restore economic stability if elected as president.

Expressing confidence in the capable individuals within the NDC, Mahama believes that they can address the economic challenges created by the current government under President Akufo-Addo.

While addressing students at the Sefwi Wiaso Nurses Training College, Mahama emphasized that a future NDC government would strive to establish a solid foundation for the country's economy.

“I met some drivers, and they apologized to me for voting me out. A gallon of petrol during my time was GH¢14, but now it’s above … or more; I can’t even tell. All these things are a result of the mismanaged economy.

“We buy fuel with dollars, so if the economy is not managed well and the dollar-to-cedi rate is lower, the prices of goods and services will decrease, but because the economy has been mismanaged, petrol is expensive. The NDC has the men and women to manage the economy very well. When we come back to power, we will ensure we make life better for you people,” he stated.

He attributed the current surge in fuel and food prices to what he described as the mismanagement of the economy by the Akufo-Addo administration.
