Former President John Dramani Mahama has declared that the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will not start new projects right away, but will instead finish ones that have been abandoned.
According to John Mahama, the country’s economic situation will not allow the government in waiting to start new projects.
Speaking to delegates in the Tano North constituency as part of a campaign visit in the Ahafo Region, Mahama, an NDC flagbearer aspirant, stated that if the party is elected, it will guarantee that all unfinished infrastructure projects are completed.

“With the economic crisis that we currently have, by the time the NDC comes into power in 2025, we are still going to have a restricted fiscal space because of the economic difficulties. A new NDC will not be in a hurry to start new projects. What we will do is that the projects that have been ongoing and have been abandoned and uncompleted, we will take an inventory of all of them and with the little resources, we will dedicate it to finishing them.”
Former President John Mahama has accused the Akufo-Addo administration of abandoning several initiatives begun under his administration.
The former President expressed disappointment that a number of projects have remained unfinished after his government left office in January 2017.
According to him, schools and road projects among others initiated during his time as President have been left unattended to.
The situation with development projects, according to John Dramani Mahama, is really sad.
The former president is running for the presidency of his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), in the 2024 general election.
Meanwhile, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has refuted former President John Dramani Mahama’s assertions that the government has abandoned various initiatives undertaken by the previous NDC administration in Ghana.
