NDC Presidential hopeful, John Dramani Mahama, believes that a victory for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2020 general elections will bring an end to the untold hardship and mass unemployment under the Akuffo-Addo led administration.
The former president on whose ticket the NDC lost the 2016 General election abysmally, said the party cannot wait to relieve Ghanaians from the sufferings they are currently experiencing.
In a short video to explain why he wants to lead the party again, Mahama said “Our collective victory in 2020 will end the increasing hardships, expand the base of our economy, create more sustainable jobs, ensure shared prosperity for all, and pursue good governance including peace, unity and security”.
He added that his decision to contest for the NDC’s presidential race is a result of the overwhelming support and encouragement given him by some party faithful and stalwarts.
“I have taken into consideration, the groundswell of support, the never-ending calls and encouragement from a large section of our party elders, members of our party, supporters and Ghanaians, from diverse backgrounds.”
“As a servant-leader, I have listened with deep respect to the elders of our party, to members of our party, and Ghanaians from all walks of life, and I am honoured to avail myself of truthful, transparent, selfless, unifying and dedicated service to the NDC and above all, to the good people of Ghana”, he added.
I owe God and country a duty to bring back NDC – Mahama
The former President indicated that he owes God and the good people of Ghana the greatest responsibility of recapturing power from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He said “I believe I owe a duty to God and my country to take our great party back into Government to right the wrongs of the past, and to put an end to the cries of the people under the current dispensation.”
It’s official: Mahama joins contest for NDC presidential ticket
John Mahama formally declared his intention to contest the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) presidential primaries after his letter of intent was presented to the party on his behalf by a delegation led by Former Ambassador, Daniel Ohene Agyekum at the NDC headquarters Thursday August 23, 2018 in Accra.

the smell of the ***barred word*** is back in the ndc camp. pls let us join hands with our friends in the ndc to dispose off that ***barred word*** to stop the smell from spreading out throughout the country. some ple are naturally born to bad smell so they don't notice it but some of us are allergic to bad smell and I will not take it kindly with anyone who comes to dump a ***barred word*** in or outside my hse trying to convince me to buy. Sorry will be your middle name that day.

This man must think we are all without brains. Create jobs ?What Jobs? Where would you be getting the wisdom to create jobs after being a monumental failure after 8 years.You are the worst leader after independence. Is it then that you think you have not st0len enough?Be careful. Don't tempt fate.
U had 8 years ohh massa what will the four years do to u. Someone has done less than two years and yet u are expecting him to solve all the problems u couldn't solve in 8 years boi. Then if if the chance for the next 4 years the ***barred word*** we will run away. The bauxite concession to you brother etc etc.
