The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has indicated that the party's 2024 manifesto will be revealed soon.

During an interview on TV3's Hot Issues on Sunday, November 5, Mr Nketia suggested that the NDC will not run its campaign on free promises, especially at a time when production must be elevated to sustain the economy.

For him, this would prevent a situation where money will be printed to help address the country's economic woes..

“We will bring our manifesto out very soon,” he hinted, “and you will know what it is that we are going to do.”

“Whatever you promise to do can only succeed on a strong economy,” he stated, citing agriculture and energy as key areas to be given attention.

“We will give you the details of what our manifesto will look like but the bottom line is that you cannot build anything on nothing. So, those who go about promising free this, free that, free this, free that, the free can only happen on solid production.

“If there is no solid production and you go about promising free, free, free, you can only print money and when you print money you will make the economy worse.”

He also conveyed his confidence in the party's candidate, John Dramani Mahama, prevailing over the candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections.

Mr. Mahama, during his 'Thank You' tours, gave indications about some of the policies he intends to pursue if he is re-elected to lead the country.

“The payment of ex gratia to members of the executive will be scrapped,” he announced when he launched his bid to contest the NDC presidential primaries held in May.

“The necessary constitutional steps to take this will start in earnest in 2025,” he added.

“We will also persuade members of the other arms of government to accept its removal.”

Mr. Asiedu Nketia disclosed that some individuals who had criticized Mr. Mahama during his presidency are now offering apologies to him.

“Those who are talking today are the same people who condemned John Dramani Mahama and over the past two years, people are coming out to apologise.

“People are coming out to say that they were misled into believing in certain things and that is a stronger vote for President John Dramani Mahama.”
