"My question would be “Mr President,how does it feel like to have uninterrupted 8 months in office from the beginning of your term,given that you were denied same in 2012 by Nana Akufo-Addo,fronted for by Dr Bawumia at the Election Petition Case hearing at the Supreme Court “? Thank you sir."

@Afetornu Emmanuel also said:

"How many bills are there before the Parliament the NDC government promised to pass? What are they doing around contentious or controversal bills in this quarter of their ruling term."

"The last time NPP's 2024 presidential candidate tried this, he became a mumu, fumbling with the mic. At the end all that we could remember was, " if I do everything now, what will I do again if I become president."

@James Bisum also commented:

"Accounting to the people and taking feedback. The people's president. Great move. Thank you, John Dramani Mahama. Thank you, Felix Kwakye Ofosu."
