\nPresident Akufo-Addo says former President Mahama is struggling to come to terms with the fact he has lost two successive elections to him.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n“Mr Mahama still has not been able to assimilate his defeat twice to the man who he said could never come to power in Ghana and I think every night when he goes to bed, he is confused about the man who has not just come back but given him a good whipping on two separate occasions<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n“We won the landslide in 2016 and again by a decisive margin in 2020. He has never got the figures that I have got in elections in Ghana, he knows”, the President bragged.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nThis, according President Akufo-Addo, is what is fueling Mahama’s constant attacks on his administration.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nPresident Akufo-Addo made these remarks in an interview with Ho-based Stone City FM as part of his two-day working visit to the Volta Region<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nHe further adds that Mahama’s criticism of his administration is nothing but a coping mechanism only aimed at nursing his wounds<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n“He knows that significant progress and achievements have been made and that it is necessary for him and his supporters to denigrate that exercise, to go out of their way and to pooh-pooh everything that we have done”, he added.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nFormer President John Dramani Mahama has been the National Democratic Congress presidential flag bearer for three successive elections, from 2012.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\nIn all those elections, Mr Mahama went against President Akufo-Addo, winning one and losing the two in 2016 and 2020.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
