2024 election: Mahama is no match for the NPP; no one is scared of him – Mac Manu

Former national chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Peter Mac Manu is confident that if John Dramani Mahama is made presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general elections he will lose.

Speaking on the back of the launch of the Presidential campaign of the former President, Peter Mac Manu argued that the leading member of the NDC has nothing better to offer Ghanaians.

In his view, any presidential candidate of the NPP will floor John Dramani Mahama in the next election.

“Mahama is not bringing anything new into the elections. We know how he ran the affairs of this country when he had the opportunity.

“His record is nothing to write home about. So, nobody is scared of Mahama at all. If we get the economy right, and I believe we will get it right, then Mahama is no force,” Peter Mac Manu told Asaase Radio in an interview.

During his campaign launch on Thursday, John Dramami Mahama promised Ghanaians that he will be the President everyone wants when given another chance to lead the country.

He argued that he has learned in the last few years and will use his experience to bring Ghana out of the economic crisis.

"Over the last four to five years, I have continued to study our problems, listened to every one of you, and experts and I can say with full confidence that I have learned a lot.

“And I am ready and able to be the kind of president that Ghanaians are looking for. In our present situation, it is no longer sufficient to sit on the sidelines to offer suggestions, which are most often ignored.

“I am therefore coming before you in all humility and in response to the calls from my party and the generality of the people of Ghana to offer myself to serve this country and these people that I love so dearly,” John Dramani Mahama said.

Among many promises made, the former President said when he becomes President again, he will ensure he runs a government of action instead of a government of slogans.
