The 2016 campaign coordinator of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Kofi Adams said Ghanaians have regretted voting out John Mahama in the just ended 2016 presidential elections.

He said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) cannot fulfill all promises it made during the campaign.

Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, Kofi Adams said, "many people were yearning for a particular change that they didn’t even know and today they have seen it, and I believe that many have regretted not voting for President Mahama."

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) continuously described the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) as a collapsed scheme whiles in opposition.

Health Minister-designate Kwaku Agyemang-Manu has told parliament’s Appointments Committee that the NPP describing the NHIS as collapsed was too harsh.

"Collapsing might have been a very harsh word. But the bottom line is that when constituents come to us, they tell us the scheme has collapsed. They are sometimes detained because they cannot pay for medications and healthcare. Sometimes I have to forgo GHS200 to get the person discharged," he said.

But Kofi Adams said Kwaku Agyemang-Manu's confession has vindicated Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

"The vetting is bringing the truth and Ghanaians who were deceived into believing that President Mahama was not working for them are being told the truth by at least some of these nominees who are not being arrogant, who fear God and who understand that they are speaking under oath and not on a political platform. At least they have been very candid," he said.
