• A Ghanaian man has opened up on why he voted for John Dramani Mahama in a video which has gone viral on social media
• In the video, he noted that he voted for the President-elect because he believes the cost of living will reduce under his regime
• He also believes that he will be able to marry four wives when the cost of living reduces after Mahama comes into power

A supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has shared a lighthearted explanation for why he voted for John Dramani Mahama.

In a video, the man said one of the key reasons he voted for Mahama was his belief that the former president’s return to office would reduce the financial burdens that Ghanaians face.

John Dramani Mahama, after the much anticipated December 7, 2024, elections, emerged victorious.

He won by over 15%, leaving a wide gap between him and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, his closest contender.

Ghanaians expect Mahama to reset the economy and improve lives, as he promised in his campaign.

Speaking to TV3, the NDC supporter lamented that Ghanaians can no longer marry because the cost of living in the country is so high and shared the hope that things will get better under Mahama's regime.

He jokingly added that with the former President back in office, he could marry four wives.

"Marriage is now expensive. If you don't have at least GH¢20,000, you cannot marry. But when Mahama fixes everything, we can marry four wives,” the supporter said.
