Mahama urged Ghanaians to reject the “corrupt, greedy, and arrogant” New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, which he believes has failed to deliver on its promises and has instead plunged the country into hardship and suffering.
The former President expressed his optimism that Ghanaians will entrust him with their votes, enabling him to alleviate the suffering and hardships facing the nation. Mahama promised to restore the dignity and prestige of the presidency, which he believes has been diminished by the current administration.
He emphasized his commitment to creating decent jobs, reviving the struggling economy, and implementing policies that will improve the livelihoods of Ghanaians. Mahama outlined his vision for a 24-hour economy initiative, which aims to create well-paying jobs for the youth and establish a National Women’s Bank to provide financial assistance to one million women businesses.
He expressed his confidence that Ghanaians will vote for change on December 7, bringing an end to the current era of difficulty and ushering in a new period of prosperity and progress. Mahama’s statement was seen as a call to action, urging Ghanaians to take control of their destiny and vote for a better future.
The NDC flagbearer’s message resonated with many Ghanaians, who are eager for a change in leadership and a new direction for the country. As the campaign season heats up, Mahama’s appeal for votes is likely to resonate with many Ghanaians, who are looking for a leader who can deliver on promises and restore hope to the nation.

150 DAYS TO ELECTION 2024
THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS COMING.
Today is one hundred and fifty (150) days to the December 7, 2024, presidential and parliamentary elections.
The TIME for CHANGE is coming and like many Ghanaians, I am certain that on 7th December, you will vote for change to end the suffering of this nation.
I urge you, my fellow Ghanaians, to vote for John Dramani Mahama and the NDC for CHANGE to signal the need for us, all, to build the Ghana we want together.
Building Ghana together means voting MAHAMA—your experienced, visionary, truthful and
humble servant—as the next President of Ghana.
Building Ghana together means rejecting the arrogance, corruption, and greed of this non-performing NPP administration that only seeks to extend the misrule and socio-economic hardships imposed on us by the Akufo-Addo Bawumia government.
On 7th December, I will need your vote to RESET our beloved country, Ghana, fix the broken economy, create decent and well-paying jobs for the youth through the 24-hour economy initiative and establish a National Women’s Bank to provide financial assistance to one million women businesses.
I need your vote to investigate and punish the corrupt NPP officials who have stolen and continue to steal from the poor taxpayer, scrap the COVID and E-levies, abolish ex-gratia and reduce the size of government drastically to a maximum of sixty ministers. With your votes, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and I will restore dignity, humility, vision, and experience to the presidency.
God bless you for deciding to vote for CHANGE on December 07.
John Dramani Mahama
Flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress 2024
