Helping Mahama Deliver is My Goal, Not Becoming President—Ato Forson

Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson says it is too early to talk about his ambition to become president of Ghana after John Dramani Mahama.

According to him, the current government was voted into power on the back opf a crisis and therefore, the focus must be on helping the president to deal with the issues.

He beleives that pushing his ambition at this time will be a great distraction and should not be encouraged especially by the media.

The Minister was speaking on Accra-based TV3 when he made this known.

“It is too early to have this conversation. I don’t think it is important at this stage. Let me tell you, this is a government that was elected on the back of a crisis. We are in office, we have a mandate and we have to focus on the job. That conversation must not happen at this stage. It will put the country off, it will only be a destruction on the mandate of H.E Mahama and so we have a mandate to make sure that we deliver on that mandate,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ato Forson has topped all Global Info Analytics polls as the favourite to lead the NDC in the 2028 election.
