2024 Elections: Mahama says NPP’s defeat will remind politicians that power belongs to the people.

Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that the anticipated loss of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections will serve as a significant reminder to politicians that power belongs to the people and not to political leaders. Speaking during a recent engagement with party supporters, Mahama stressed that political power is a temporary mandate granted by the electorate, and leaders must always act in the best interest of the citizens.
Mahama criticized the current government for what he described as a betrayal of public trust, citing economic mismanagement, widespread corruption, and declining living standards under the NPP administration. He argued that these issues have eroded public confidence in the ruling party, making it clear that Ghanaians are ready to vote for change in the upcoming elections.
The former president emphasized that political leaders should see their positions as opportunities to serve and not as personal entitlements. He urged all politicians, regardless of party affiliation, to prioritize the welfare of the people and uphold democratic principles.
According to Mahama, the expected outcome of the 2024 elections will reinforce the idea that power ultimately resides with the people, who will hold leaders accountable for their actions. He called on Ghanaians to remain vigilant and committed to defending democracy, ensuring that the election reflects the will of the majority.Mahama’s remarks come as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) intensifies its campaign, promising to restore hope and prosperity if given the mandate in 2024.
