In a passionate address to party members in the Upper West region, John Dramani Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), made a compelling case for his leadership over Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, likening the choice to entrusting the country’s governance to an experienced ‘driver’ versus a careless ‘driver’s mate’.

Drawing on his tenure as a former President, Mahama highlighted his qualifications and suitability for steering the nation compared to Bawumia, who has equated his role to that of a driver’s mate, sparking doubts about his effectiveness.
While Dr. Bawumia has downplayed his responsibility in the current economic landscape by emphasizing his advisory role, Mahama stressed the critical need for Ghanaians to choose him over Bawumia.
He framed the upcoming election as an opportunity to rescue the nation from what he described as incompetence and ineptitude, urging voters not to hand over Ghana’s future to a ‘driver’s mate’.
