Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Former President John Dramani Mahama, has said that in order to address the challenges of this country Ghanaians must vote out the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from office this year to pave the way for him to lead the country.In his view, for Ghana to be successful again, there is an urgent need to reset the governance and democratic systems and this can only happen if this current NPP government is rejected at the polls on December 7."These last eight years have been very challenging for our democratic institutions.

All the gains we have made in strengthening them since 1992 have been eroded.

Ghanaians must end this 'horror movie' they have been subjected to over the last eight years."The pledge to protect the public purse was a hollow promise.

Indeed, as some people say humorously, they have not only emptied the public purse; they have stolen the purse itself," Mr Mahama stated in an address.He further accused appointees of the Akufo-Addo administration of insatiable greed.
