He said his decision to seek the mandate of Ghanaians at this point was to put the nation on the path of progress and bring hope, especially to the country's youth, among whom many did not see any future under the current administration.
Mr. Mahama, who is seeking to lead the NDC into the 2024 general election, said this when he addressed the party's teeming supporters, including delegates from the Gomoa East Constituency in the Central Region at Gomoa Buduatta where he started his 3-day campaign tour of the Central Region.
The former President, who has gone through vetting and the balloting process of the NDC, is number one on the ballot paper for the party’s presidential primary slated for May 13.
Mr. Mahama would be contesting the party’s flagbearership with a former Chief Executive Officer of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Kojo Bonsu, and a former Minister of Finance and Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, who occupy the second and third positions respectively on the ballot paper.
Economic mess.
Former Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly Chief Executive Officer Kojo Bonsu and former Minister of Finance and Governor of the Bank of Ghana Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, who are listed in second and third place on the ballot, and Mr. Mahama would compete for the position of party flagbearer.
Come back.
Former President Mahama said his intention to come back was to rescue the nation and, particularly, the youth who saw no future under the current Akufo-Addo administration.
The Central Regional Chairman of the NDC, Prof. Richard Kofi Asiedu, said the people of the region were anxiously waiting for the return of “His Excellency John Mahama to come and continue with his good works for the socio-economic development of the country.”
For his part, the Chairman of the JDM Campaign Team for the Gomoa East Constituency, Kweku Sersah-Johnson, expressed the appreciation of the people of the constituency to the former President and his entourage for the visit and reiterated the assurance of the delegates to massively vote for Mahama on May 13.
