Launching the campaign, President Mahama, who is seeking a second term on the ticket of the NDC, justified why Ghanaians should give him a second chance in the upcoming polls.

According to him, if the NDC is “given another term we’ll do even more,” which will enable the party “continue to change more lives and transform Ghana.”

“I pledge to remain true to the ideals of the party. It’s going to be a hard election… we have what it takes to win,” the president said.
