Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has said that if he is re-elected as president of Ghana in the impending December polls, he will personally interact more with Ghanaians than he did before.

He disclosed this in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM monitored by A1radioonline.com.

“I will talk to them{Ghanaians} and explain to them what policies we are implementing and why everything is happening and I think that is one of my major regrets and I’ll make up for it when I become president again.” He said.

The Former President regretted that during his time in office, he did not speak directly with Ghanaians to let them understand what he was doing.

His failure to do so according to him, created a “vacuum which was filled by a lot of propaganda from the then opposition, making all kinds of accusations.”

“And, so, if I have another opportunity, I’ll speak more directly with the people. He reiterated.

“I did it once a year, in some kind of meet-the-press and all that but I think the next time I have the opportunity, I will go round the country and meet the people.”

He added “When I was in office, I knew what we were doing in every sector, I could explain what we were doing in every sector and I think that the responsibility is given to the person, the mandate is given to the person who is president and I think he should take that seriously and engage with the people from time to time, more regularly than I did.”

He further explained that “Often, when you become president, you have a communication minister, information minister and all kinds of people speaking on your behalf but I think it is better that the president, eyeball-to-eyeball, speaks with the people and explain the policies he’s engaged in.
