It is clear that throughout his four years in office, we have all seen and experienced his highs and lows, successes and failures. Is he still the right man for the job? is the question that still stands. Going into this year's elections, Mr. Dramani has a lot of momentum as the head of Ghana's biggest opposition party. It's clear that he is using Ghana's precarious economic position to further his political agenda. It is unclear how someone who was unable to give electricity to different households during his tenure will be able to do it continuously in order to support his proposal for a 24/7 economy.
Political analysts view this as a political ploy; how can you claim to be doing what you were unable to accomplish when you had a sustaintive period to do so.
He has been heard expressing varying opinions about the life-altering program, which virtually suggests that his beliefs regarding the free SHS policy are a little shaky. He initially declared that he would not support this program for any state in Africa. He then claimed that his government had started this policy. Afterward, he claimed that the policy had flaws and that, should he be elected, he would work to get them fixed. He even went so far as to cast doubt on the validity of the recently concluded West African Secondary School Examination (WASSCE), asserting that the scores understate the true aptitude of the children. This is all coming from someone whose government did nothing but watch chickens being carried to Burkina Faso.
In summary, Ghanaians should take a lesson from this, given what we have witnessed from the leaders of the country's two major political parties. Something has to happen. Maybe someone else with different goals and motivations from a different political party. For it is evident that these two political parties—the New Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party—have disappointed us thus far.
