Former president John Dramani Mahama, who is now the first person to launch his presidential campaign for the 2024 polls, has said the current state of the country needs an experienced person like himself to run affairs.

Mocking his opponents in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming presidential primaries on May 13, 2023, he suggested that, unlike his opponents who do not have an experience as a President, he is the best candidate to bring the party back to power.
