Justin Frimpong Kodua has made his stance clear regarding the upcoming elections, stating it would be a "significant error" if former President John Dramani Mahama were to win, even though he considers that outcome unlikely. "The past is a clear indicator of the future," Kodua argued, highlighting what he perceives as Mahama's failures during his previous tenure. "He lacks the capability to provide meaningful solutions for Ghanaians." The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), characterized the notion of Mahama's return as a "major misstep," emphasizing that the NPP has consistently outperformed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in various sectors. "Our track record speaks for itself," he asserted, confidently suggesting that the election is essentially secured for Vice President Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia and the NPP.
One of Kodua's key points was Mahama's decision to avoid engaging in a debate, which he believes undermines the opposition's role in the electoral process. "He is the first opposition leader to shy away from a debate, and that's concerning," he remarked. "Debates are essential for highlighting the incumbent government's shortcomings and offering voters a genuine alternative." Kodua accused Mahama of resorting to propaganda instead of addressing the pressing issues facing the country. "Instead of discussing real problems, he chooses to spread misinformation," he said.
He emphasized that even if Mahama were to win, his time in office would be limited. "Under the constitution, he would only have four years to govern, having already served a full term.
