A former Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has attributed the party’s overwhelming victory in the 2024 election to the efforts of President-elect John Mahama and the perceived arrogance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, Joseph Ade Coker commended Mr Mahama for what he described as a relentless effort during the campaign tour.
“First and foremost, President Mahama for the past two, three years really traversed this country. He went round the 276 constituencies, 16 regions more than three or four times trying to let the people know his programme for the future,” he stated.
Mr Coker noted the President-elect did everything possible to touch base and connect with the people to share his vision for the country.
He also acknowledged there was dissatisfaction among Ghanaians due to how the NPP managed the economy and that also worked the magic for the NDC.
“Coupled with that is the way the government handled the people of Ghana. There were so many instances where Ghanaians were looked down upon. Most of the appointees of the NPP became very arrogant apart from that the economic situation where you had this haircut, our economy now becoming a junk economy.
“What you saw was the anger of the people. Ghanaians were really angry. So you could see that people voted massively for the NDC because they wanted a change and they bought into what President Mahama was telling them,” he added.
