President
Nana
Addo
Dankwa
Akufo-Addo
has
asserted
that
the
flagbearer
of
the
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC),
John
Dramani
Mahama,
does
not
deserve
to
win
the
December
polls
because
he
lacks
new
ideas.
Akufo-Addo
referenced
Mahama’s
previous
track
record,
highlighting
his
defeat
in
his
second
attempt
at
reelection
as
evidence
of
his
unsuitability
for
the
presidency.
Speaking
at
the
unveiling
of
NPP
running
mate
Matthew
Opoku
Prempeh,
President
Akufo-Addo
drew
comparisons
with
former
Presidents
Jerry
John
Rawlings,
John
Agyekum
Kufuor,
and
himself,
who
all
served
two
terms
tenures.
Akufo-Addo
emphasised
that
Mahama’s
rejection
in
his
second
term
demonstrates
his
lack
of
fitness
for
the
role.
“Since
the
4th
republic,
Jerry
John
Rawlings
was
allowed
to
serve
for
his
second
term,
John
Agyekum
Kuffuor
was
also
allowed
to
serve
for
two
terms
and
me,
Nana
Addo
Dankwah
Akufo-Addo
has
also
been
allowed
to
serve
for
two
terms.
However,
he
[Mahama]
was
rejected
for
his
second
term
and
he’s
now
asking
for
a
second
chance.
We
won’t
consider
him
for
the
presidency,
either
today
or
tomorrow.”
“He
talks
as
if
we
don’t
know
his
track
record.
He
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
We
know
his
track
record
and
he
has
nothing
new
for
Ghanaians.
“We
saw
what
he
did
during
his
tenure
in
office
which
led
to
his
defeat
in
his
second
attempt,
after
realising
he
was
not
fit
for
the
job,
why
should
we
vote
for
him
now?
We
won’t!”
