Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has vowed to oversee an administration where no citizen will have to "worry about" where their next meal will come from.
He expressed his desire to lead and "lift" the country to a pedestal of needs-focused and sustained economic development, built on firm industrialization that will foster growth and shared prosperity. "We will lift our people out of poverty and ensure that no Ghanaian goes to bed hungry," he told a large crowd gathered at the Sekondi Methodist Park to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Christian Faith Church International.
The vision he has for Ghana is one where "no one is left behind," with unassailable and equal access to opportunities for all, particularly in a nation where "every child" has access to quality education, and where every family has the dignity of decent work and thrives in safe communities.
The 24-Hour Vessel The former President hopes to use the 24-hour economic model - the fulcrum of the NDC's 2024 election manifesto - as a vessel in his quest to "emancipate" the country from its current economic challenges.
