John Dramani Mahama is the President of Ghana
Former Minister of Gender, Rachel Appoh, has publicly declared her support for President John Dramani Mahama amid increasing calls from sections of the public for him to consider a third term in office, should the opportunity arise.
According to Appoh, President Mahama’s leadership experience, political maturity and what she described as exceptional governance credentials continue to resonate with many Ghanaians, even after his tenure in office.
She noted that the admiration he commands makes it unsurprising that calls for his return to the presidency are gaining momentum.
MP accuses ‘greedy politicians’ of pushing third-term bid for Mahama
Appearing on Adom FM’s Work and Happiness mid-morning show, the former legislator described the third-term calls as justified, arguing that President Mahama’s track record has left a lasting impression on the electorate.
“I support calls for President Mahama’s third term bid if it is possible…, “she stressed.
Appoh’s position aligns with similar sentiments expressed by other key figures within the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, has indicated that he may be compelled to support a third-term bid for President Mahama if such a directive is issued by the party.
According to Ayariga, personal views would be secondary to the collective decision of the NDC when the time comes.
He further attributed the growing public calls for a third term to what he described as the impressive performance of the Mahama-led government since assuming office.
“I know that due to the very excellent performance so far of President John Dramani Mahama, Ghanaians are asking him to seek a third term. Ghanaians believe that as a result of the good deeds of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, they do not want him to leave the presidency,” Ayariga is quoted as saying.
However, while acknowledging the rising public pressure, the Majority Leader was quick to clarify that President Mahama has not officially declared any intention to seek another term in office.
