The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama promised Ghanaians to scrap some nuisance taxes in his first 100 days in office.

It is recalled that during the campaign season, he expressed the view that these taxes placed a burden on Ghanaians and needed to be scrapped.

The taxes include E-levy, COVID levy, 10% levy on betting, emissions levy, and import duty on vehicles and equipment imported into the country for industrial and agricultural purposes.

Although the Electoral Commission is yet to announce the certified presidential results, the presidential candidate of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vice President Dr Mahamdu Bawumia has conceded defeat to Mr Mahama and assured him of a smooth transition period.
