Former President John Mahama has vowed to explore alternatives to the controversial betting tax as part of his election campaign strategy.

Speaking at the NDC's Youth Townhall Meeting in Accra, the party's flagbearer underscored his commitment to addressing critical issues impacting Ghanaians.

Mahama reiterated his promise to eliminate both the Electronic Levy (E-Levy) and the tax on betting winnings if he wins the upcoming election.

He criticized the E-Levy for failing to meet revenue expectations while burdening citizens financially. His campaign pledges are part of a broader effort to tackle the country’s pressing economic challenges.

Additionally, Mahama called for a more organized approach to exporting local talent, expressing concerns about the current exodus of professionals due to economic hardships.
