Ghanaians are suffering; stop the jokes and comedy – Mahama tells Bawumia

John Dramani Mahama, the 2024 Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasised the seriousness of the presidency and criticised its trivialisation in political campaigns.

Highlighting the urgent challenges facing Ghanaians, he condemned symbolic gestures like the handover of a mythical steer and stressed the need for capable leadership.

Mahama also criticised Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for taking credit for the government’s successes while avoiding responsibility for its failures.

He rejected outdated slogans and deceptive practices in politics, asserting that such conduct insults the intelligence of the electorate and undermines the presidency's seriousness.
