The media session was part of Mahama’s campaign to return to power as the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC). It aimed to provide the Ghanaian public with detailed insights into his policies, including the controversial 24-hour economy proposal.
Mahama’s commitment to a leaner government is part of his broader strategy to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. His remarks reflect a growing sentiment among many Ghanaians who believe that a smaller, more focused cabinet could lead to better management of the country’s resources and more effective governance.
As the election campaign heats up, Mahama’s promises and policy explanations will be closely scrutinised by voters seeking a viable alternative to the current administration.
