Former President John Mahama has officially declared his bid to lead the National Democratic Congress to Election 2024.
The campaign launch which took place at the Cedi Auditorium of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) on Thursday, was joined by many NDC stalwarts.
Speaking at the event, John Mahama officially declared his intention to join the race, adding it has been months of prayer and wider consultations, saying at this stage, Ghana demands experienced hands not experiment.
The former President said with the kind of hardship experienced, at this time the country does not need a try-me-too leader as Ghana’s next President.
He said the hopes of giving Ghana to the NPP for a prosperous future have been dashed and the country is now bankrupt and downgraded, leaving the economy in a worse shape.
The former President said, having sat back and “I’m set and very ready to build Ghana we want together with you.”
John Mahama acknowledged Ghana has always had some citizens travel abroad for greener pastures, however, he the exodus as a result of the current economic conditions is profound.
According to him, the present state and its effect on people trouble him a lot, adding that at every wrong turn by the government, he has proffered solutions and alternatives due to his experience, but have all been ignored.
John Mahama noted that there is a growing gap between the people of Ghana and the political class, a situation which calls for a change of leadership.
” Of course, I know how to deliver the badly needed change, because over the last four years, I have continued to study our problems, continued to listen to every one of you, a variety of scholars and experts, and I am ready and able to be the kind of leaders Ghanaians want,” he said.
He said it is no longer pleasant considering the situation in which Ghanaians find themselves to sit on the fence and profer solutions which are mostly ignored.
The former President said it is why he has humbly presented himself to serve the people of Ghana.
The Coalition of Regional Chairmen of the NDC and some MPs also endorsed the candidature of John Mahama and pledged their unflinching support.
Right from Ho, the former President and his campaign team headed to the Hohoe constituency also in the Volta region to continue his campaign.
The constituency was snatched from the NDC by NPP’s John Peter Amewu in the 2020 elections, against this backdrop, they have been putting every measure in place to reclaim the seat.
The party has set Saturday, May 13, for presidential and parliamentary primaries to elect a flagbearer and parliamentary candidates for the 2024 elections.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
