Mahama expressed confidence in his ability to steer the country toward recovery alongside his running mate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, come December 7, 2024. He criticised the current administration led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, referring to it as "incompetent and inept" and warning against handing over the nation to a "driver's mate."

"The opportunity has come for us to rescue our nation from the incompetence and inept clueless administration of Nana Akufo-Addo and his driver’s mate.
