As a result, dumsor has returned and this is because the government is not being truthful with Ghanaians, in our previous administration we implemented a load-shedding timetable to manage the crisis but the current government refuses to do so because they fear being blamed for bringing back dumsor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHowever the reality is that dumsor is back, they know the NDC is likely to come to power, so they are trying to shift this burden onto us, additionally they are planning to pass an estimated bill of two billion dollars in debt within the energy sector to the next NDC administration,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Mahama also projected that the party will secure a victory in the Greater Accra Region by a margin of three hundred thousand votes in the upcoming December 7 elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to increase the vote that we get from Volta and the Oti regions, and I am sure that if we are able to do that, it will also increase our vote in Greater Accra. Greater Accra we won it the last time\u2026We need to win with about three hundred thousand votes and we need to widen the gap in the Volta region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNPP got about a hundred thousand votes in the Volta region the last time and we got about eight hundred thousand votes, we need to decrease the votes that they get in the Volta region. I don\u2019t think NPP will get about three hundred thousand votes in the Volta region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mahama is expected to wrap up his tour in the Oti Region while his running mate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, will begin a two-day campaign tour of the Volta Region today.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/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\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate, John Mahama, has accused the government of attempting to shift the responsibility for the current power crisis onto a future NDC administration, should his party win the upcoming election.
