Don’t Vote For Mahama; He Has Nothing New To Offer – Afenyo-Markin tells Ghanaians

The Majority in Parliament is encouraging Ghanaians to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the December elections, citing the opposition party’s purported absence of innovative solutions to the nation’s challenges.

They contend that if the NDC were to win, it could potentially spark a leadership turmoil within the party, particularly given that their flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, would be restricted to a solitary term if elected.

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Majority Leader, expressed these concerns during a press briefing in Accra on Friday, April 19th.

He stressed that if Mahama were to return to power, it would probably lead to a lack of urgency in governance.

According to Afenyo-Markin, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia symbolizes a more promising future for Ghana.

The Effutu MP proposed that Dr. Bawumia’s leadership presents a vision that is more in line with the country’s needs.

“We have the NDC candidate who has had the opportunity to serve as vice president and president. He’s been vice president for three and a half years before and he’s been president for some four and half years. We know his track record. He is the same person with the same old team coming to tell us that they have something to offer but we know their track record.”

He further asserted that if Mr. Mahama were to secure victory in the elections, his single-term presidency would likely diminish any sense of urgency in governance, as he would not be seeking re-election.

“He has only one term, there will be no sense of urgency, and we dare say that from day one that government will be in crisis because those party people will be struggling for who should be the next leader. Ghanaians need a stable government with focus…Dr Bawumia offers a better future than John Mahama,” he added.
