“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 expressed confidence that his party’s nominee, John Dramani Mahama, will defeat the NPP’s candidate in the 2024 elections.
Mr Mahama has indicated at some of the ideas he will pursue if re-elected to run the country during his ‘Thank You’ travels.
“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.”
