Flagbearer of the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Former President John Dramani Mahama, says Ghanaians have realized that their lives were better-off under the government of the erstwhile NDC than it is today under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

He noted that one of the things that led to his defeat in the 2016 election was voter apathy.

According to him, the then opposition NPP’s continuous attack on his administration over what they said was the government’s insensitivity to the plight of Ghanaians resulted in a situation where NDC members failed to vote in the 2016 elections which consequently led to his defeat.

“In my time, we were selling petrol for GHS14 a gallon. This government said it was too expensive and life was hard, they made drivers demonstrate, so, our people began to think this our government is wicked for selling petrol at GHS14 per gallon but today, they sell one gallon of petrol at GHS24 under this administration.

“So, those things worked on voter conscience, so, it led to voter apathy; so, 2016, there was a lot of apathy in our party but now they’ve realized the NDC was doing well because the time JM was in government, they had money; you do ‘kpa kpa kpa’ small you get some small money but now you do ‘kpa kpa kpa kpa kpa kpa’ nothing will come.” Mr. Mahama said in an interview with BBC Pidgin ahead of the December 7 general elections.

He noted that there will be no voter apathy in this year’s elections; stating that Ghanaians are now eager to come out on December 7 to vote for the NDC because according to him, they have realized that the hardships they face under this current government is nothing compared to the what was happening during his term of office as president.

“So, now, our party people who didn’t vote in 2016 are saying they’ve sold their coloured TV for black and white, so, this time they are all ready to come out and vote for the NDC to come back to power.”
