Former President John Dramani Mahama is set to embark on a crucial Greater Accra Tour, starting September 27, 2024, as the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This tour aims to revitalize the party’s presence in the region, focusing on key constituencies like Ablekuma North, West, Central, and South ¹.
Mahama’s mission is built around three core areas: Economic Revitalization, Accountability and Good Governance, and Social Development. He plans to address economic hardships, create jobs, and promote prosperity, while ensuring transparency, fighting corruption, and restoring trust in institutions. Additionally, he aims to improve education, healthcare, and infrastructure to enhance the quality of life for all Ghanaians ¹.
This grassroots approach reflects Mahama’s commitment to listening to the people and working towards a better future for all. By engaging with local communities, professionals, and informal sector representatives, he hopes to understand their concerns and ideas for the country’s development.
Ghana has faced significant economic challenges in recent years, including a debt burden assessed as unsustainable and high inflation ¹. In May 2023, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a $3 billion Extended Credit Facility Arrangement to support Ghana’s economic recovery ¹. Mahama’s tour and message of hope come at a critical time for the country.
As Mahama urges Ghanaians to join him in his quest for a better future, he envisions a brighter tomorrow, free from the hardships and challenges that have plagued the country. The Greater Accra Tour marks the beginning of a new chapter in Ghana’s history, one that promises hope, unity, and progress.
