Former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has outlined a 26-point agenda his government would execute in the first 120 days in office if he wins the 2024 general election. Calling them a social contract with the Ghanaian people, Mr Mahama was of the conviction the interventions would set the foundation and position his would-be government to deliver on its four-year mandate effectively. At the launch of the party's manifesto in Winneba in the Central Region on Saturday, former President Mahama said among the interventions would be a national economic dialogue to "discuss the true state of the economy and prepare a home-grown fiscal consolidation programme to guide the budget". The next NDC government, the former president said would nominate all cabinet ministers for parliamentary approval in the first 14 days and constitute the leanest and most efficient government in the history of the fourth republic in the first 90 days in office. For the realisation of the much talked about 24-hour economy policy, the NDC leader said his government would commence the drafting of the needed legal amendments for the implementation of the policy and while at that, establish an accelerated export development council to promote export as part of a broader strategy for economic transformation.
