Standard bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has tasked the electorates to be vigilant and vote for him during the December 7 elections.
Speaking at a meeting with the Zongo group in Effie in the Western Region, he told electorates to compare their lives under the four-year leadership of the Akufo-Addo-led government to the NDC mandate.
He affirmed that the electorates who show up at his number to vote for him to return to office will cease what he calls a country in struggle caused by Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (PNP).
“We all have to show up on Election Day, be vigilant this year and vote for the NDC and kick the PNP out of the government so that the struggles they have put us in will go away.
“On Election Day, before casting your vote, consider your living condition and cast a good vote,” he said.
He criticized the nuclear power plant for not creating jobs and yet slowing down businesses due to a struggling economy.
Mahama said that the current state of the economy has ruined families when people cannot afford basic goods.
“Today, business is really not going as well as it should, business is slow due to the difficult financial situation we are currently facing as a country,” he said.
He reiterated his plans to start the One Million Jobs Plan which, he said, will create jobs for young people as a team that make up a greater number of the population.
The former president said Ghana cannot afford to have its young graduates enter a jobless economy.
This program, he noted, will help create 250,000 jobs each year of his first term.
“Our plans include an aggressive labor and business program in the public and private sectors; which will generate a minimum of 250,000 jobs each year.
“A total of 1,000,000 jobs nationwide at the end of my term in 2024. We will put Ghanaians to work to earn a decent living,” Mahama said.
He also promised to introduce far-reaching reforms to combat corruption if he is elected president in the December elections.
