The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called on Ghanaians to vote for change to put the economy back on a sound footing.

According to him, the country needs to be reset for growth and prosperity so Ghanaians can heave a sigh of relief.

He further stated that his government will deal with corruption and state capture that has emerged in recent times.

Speaking at the manifesto launch at Winneba on Saturday, August 24, 2024, Mahama said, "Our dear nation is bleeding. Ghana's soul is calling for change. Mother Ghana is crying for its true and patriotic citizens to rise up to restore our beloved nation. Ghanaians can take no more of the hardship, the impunity, the state capture, the hypocrisy, the lies, and the bad governance that has been inflicted on them over the two terms of this outgoing administration.

"We cannot fail our mother Ghana; therefore, I urge you all to vote for change on December 7, 2024," he added.

Among other promises made by the NDC flagbearer are free sanitary pads for girls in school, probing the government's Gold-for-Oil programme, and uncap the national insurance levy, among others.
