President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has asserted that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, does not merit winning the December polls due to his lack of fresh ideas.
Akufo-Addo pointed to Mahama’s past electoral defeat in his bid for reelection as evidence of his unsuitability for the presidency.
Speaking at the unveiling of NPP running mate Matthew Opoku Prempeh, President Akufo-Addo drew comparisons with former Presidents Jerry John Rawlings, John Agyekum Kufuor, and himself, all of whom served two terms.
Akufo-Addo underscored that Mahama’s rejection in his second term indicates his inadequacy for the role.
“Since the 4th republic, Jerry John Rawlings was allowed to serve for his second term, John Agyekum Kuffuor was also allowed to serve for two terms and me, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has also been allowed to serve for two terms.
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.”
“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!”
