The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has stated that the current state of the Ghanaian economy requires an experienced leader like himself.

He argues that the economy, which he described as broken due to mismanagement by the ruling New Patriotic Party, now needs a trusted team and government to engage in recovery efforts and restore it to a sound footing.

Addressing a gathering of supporters during a campaign tour of the Upper East region, John Mahama rallied citizens to give the nod back to his party to address the broken economy.

"This is the time when we need an experienced driver. This is not the time when we need a driver's mate. The time is for experience and expertise. The situation our country is in requires trusted and tried people who can turn our fortunes around.

"Our young people have no more time to waste on experiments. We don't want any experimental leader to come and say we should try him and that even after four years if I don't do well, you can change me. No. The time for experimentation is past. This is the time for trust and experience," John Mahama explained.

On December 7, 2024, Ghanaians will head to the polls to elect a new president and members of parliament for the next four years.
