I'll lead a government beyond 'family and friends syndrome' – Mahama

Former president John Dramani Mahama has appealed to delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to vote massively for him ahead of the National Delegates' Congress on Saturday, February 23, to lead NDC in 2020 election.

According to him a vote for John Mahama will not be wasted but will work day and night to wrestle power from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a short video shared on social media he indicated that, “Vote for me, John Mahama, on Saturday February 23, 2019 and I will lead the NDC, working day and night with you, to win the 2020 elections. Together, we will present to our countrymen and women a renewed and reinvigorated NDC.”

He continued: “Together we will present to our countrymen and women a renewed and reinvigorated NDC, a party ready and able to lead Ghana beyond the unprecedented economic hardships of the present day, beyond the rising unemployment and despair of our youth, beyond the closure and collapse of financial institutions and businesses, beyond the dishonesty and nonchalance of the current administration, and beyond the family and clan syndrome that has rightly shocked and outraged so many”.
