• Former President John Mahama has criticised the government, saying it has allowed another power crisis
• The National Democratic Congress flagbearer maintains that this power crisis was solved before he left power in 2017

The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, John Mahama, has slammed the government for overseeing another power crisis after recent outrage over widespread power cuts.

Mahama is now concerned that the NDC would inherit a power crisis, popularly known as dumsor, if it wins the 2024 election.

The former President maintains that this power crisis was solved before he left power in 2017.

Mahama's recent remarks came on January 11, 2024, during his tour of the Volta Region.
