- The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress said state plunderers should be concerned about a future NDC government
- He said a future John Mahama government would ensure all those at the helm of government and state agencies are held accountable
- Asiedu Nketia also stated the ruling government's description of the NDC as a scary alternative to their rule was an apt description
The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has agreed with critics who have described the NDC as a scary alternative to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, the NDC is unbothered by such descriptions as those who make these claims are those guilty of looting and plundering the state coffers.

He said the NDC’s critics wished to escape accountability, hence their fear of the opposition party coming into power.
His statement followed the NPP’s caution to electorates that they should shun the NDC in the 2024 general elections to avoid a repeat of the erstwhile Mahama government’s woes.

However, at a party rally at Somanya in the Eastern Region, Nketia said the NDC was a scary alternative for those who looted taxpayers’ money, spent huge sums of public funds on a yet-to-be-commenced National Cathedral project, and willed the country’s assets to their kith and kin.
Nketia bars Mahama from debating Bawumia
Meanwhile, Nketia stated that the party's flagbearer, John Mahama, would not debate Mahamudu Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate.
He says debating Dr Bawumia was a 'completely worthless exercise' and claimed the Vice President lacked credibility and was prone to spewing lies.
In an interview on JoyNews, Asiedu Nketia explained that his principle was avoiding arguments with idiots and liars.
He said that while he was not certain the vice president was an idiot, his past utterances and promises and failure to follow through proved he was a liar.
Nketia said that while John Mahama has expressed interest in participating in the debate, the party’s leadership has warned him against it, citing Bawumia’s lack of credibility.
He said the Vice President has failed to live up to the standards he set for himself and is already making new promises to Ghanaians ahead of the December 7 polls.
Mahama urges Ghanaians not to lose hope

Mahama emphasised the upcoming 2024 elections as an opportunity for citizens to change the country's economic managers.
He acknowledged the hardships faced by many and urged voters to learn from past experiences to make 'informed decisions'.
