President Akufo-Addo has underscored that John Dramani Mahama's previous presidency failed to merit a second term and therefore does not deserve another chance in the upcoming 2024 elections.

Akufo-Addo argued that Mahama’s presidency was marked by failure, making him unworthy of a return to office. He criticized Mahama's efforts to rehabilitate his image, insisting that Ghanaians have not forgotten his poor record.

Pointing out historical precedents, Akufo-Addo highlighted that, besides the late President Atta Mills, Mahama is unique in being the only Ghanaian president to serve just one term due to underperformance.

"Because they believe that we have short memories, we don't remember their record. We remember their record. The record of failure," he said.

The President reassured that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will continue to remind the electorate of Mahama’s unsuccessful presidency.

He stated that Mahama's bid to return to power is an attempt to obscure his past failures, but such efforts will not succeed.

"It is only one President whose record did not merit a second term, and you and I know who I am talking about. It's the man who wants to come back to save his image because he believes Ghanaians have forgotten his records. Mr candidate, your record cannot be forgotten. We cannot allow that record to be forgotten," he said.

Akufo-Addo promised that under the leadership of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana will progress and achieve its potential.
