The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that there is no evidence to support claims of the two million jobs created by the NPP administration.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia, has been highlighting the successes of his government, revealing that 2.1 million jobs were created between 2017 and 2022 despite facing global economic challenges.
However, Mahama, while speaking in Asutifi North as part of his tour of the Ahafo Region, said the claims are false and merely political tactics to gain votes. "We cannot be deceived by the unemployment rate, under the NDC administration it was 8.4% but it has since risen.
Despite the president and vice president claiming to have created over 2 million jobs, I ask where are these jobs and how many have reached the residents. "This seems like mere rhetoric aimed at winning votes.
That is why we are advocating for a 24-hour economy policy to create new job opportunities," he stated.
