So I know a lot of young people are losing hope. A lot of young people say, look, we don\u2019t see any future in this country. And I can understand you. After what has happened these last 8 years, you are justified to lose hope in your country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I stand here as the former president of Ghana and the incoming president of Ghana to appeal to all the young people of this country. You are my children because many of you are the same ages as my sons, and I appeal to you not to lose hope in this country. This country will rise up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><br \/><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has once again positioned himself as the leader to rescue Ghana\u2019s faltering economy, pledging bold reforms and comprehensive economic revitalisation if he is elected president in the December 7 general elections.
