John Dramani Mahama, former president, thinks he is the best choice to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the upcoming general election.
Mr. Mahama contends that the country’s situation is at an all-time low and that the party cannot risk nominating a candidate who lacks the resources to meet the challenges head-on.
“Ghana at this time does not need a ‘try-me-too-leader,” he said on Thursday, March 2 as he officially declared his candidature to lead the NDC into Election 2024.
“[Ghana needs] a leader who accepts responsibility and works to fix the problem and not one who shifts blame to others.”

He made these comments during the launch of his flagbearership campaign themed ‘Building The Ghana We Want Together’.
John Mahama explained to party members in Ho that the economic mismanagement brought on by ineffective leadership and overall, what he called “abysmal” performance has eroded trust in the Akufo-Addo-led government.
“Our present state and its effect on our people trouble me a lot,” he said.
The former President said he has over the period monitored the country’s problems and “of course, I know how to deliver that badly needed change,” he added.
The flagbearer-aspirant insisted that “We will not run a government of slogans, instead we will run a government of action.”
Kojo Bonsu, former mayor of Kumasi, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, and businessman Ernest Kwaku Krobea are also contenders for the position of NDC flagbearer in the 2024 election, along with Mr. Mahama.
