We won’t consider Mahama for the presidency today or tomorrow, he has nothing new to offer – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has declared that John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, does not deserve to win the December elections due to his lack of new ideas.
During the unveiling of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) running mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, Akufo-Addo pointed to Mr. Mahama’s defeat in his re-election bid as proof of his unsuitability for the presidency.
Drawing comparisons with former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, and himself, President Akufo-Addo highlighted that all had served two terms in office.
He argued that Mr. Mahama's failure to secure a second term indicates his unfitness for the role.
“However, he [Mahama] was rejected for his second term, and he’s now asking for a second chance. We won’t consider him for the presidency, either today or tomorrow,” President Akufo-Addo asserted.
He criticised Mr. Mahama’s tenure, stating: “He talks as if we don’t know his track record. He has nothing new to offer. We know his track record, and he has nothing new for Ghanaians.
“We saw what he did during his tenure in office, which led to his defeat in his second attempt. After realising he was not fit for the job, why should we vote for him now? We won’t!” President Akufo-Addo added.
