"Mahama comes to the Presidency with unparalleled rich experience and not experiment" - Haruna Iddrisu

Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu has urged voters to vote for John Dramani Mahama in the December elections because he will provide "unparalleled experience". 

Speaking at the NDC's campaign launch in Tamale, he stated that John Mahama's next government would "right the wrongs of the past" as well as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

“He [Mr Mahama} comes to the Presidency with unparalleled rich experience and not experiment…He’s been Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President, Acting President, and President. He will come to the Presidency with a renewed sense of vigour to right the wrongs of the past, and in particular, the wrongs of Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr Bawumia.”

“He comes to it [the Presidency] walking on three important hallmarks: He comes to it with compassion, and he comes to the Presidency with judgement,” Mr Haruna stated.

The launch drew thousands of party supporters to Tamale's Jubilee Park and comes ahead of the Party's manifesto rollout, which is set for later in August this year.

NDC executives took turns addressing the crowd before Mr Mahama spoke, reaffirming his agenda and explaining why the country must "change course" in the December election.

“I will work hard, day and night, to make sure we reset the fortunes of this country…Our intention is to ameliorate the damage that has been done,” he remarked.

National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia also encouraged the Electoral Commission to ensure free and fair elections and security agencies to be diligent in carrying out their duty during the General Election.

The National Women's Organiser of the NDC, Hannah Bissiw also noted that the December polls is an opportunity to economically empower Ghanaian women. She stated that the party intends to establish a Women's Development Bank should they win.
