You voted for the NDC thinking you were punishing me, I served 2 terms as President – Akufo-Addo GreatnewsghMar 11, 2025 2:25 PM Former President Nana Akufo-Addo has stated that Ghanaians erred in their decision to vote for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the most recent election, believing they were penalizing him. He emphasized that, having completed his two terms in office and not being on the ballot, their choice did not impact him directly. During a public event, Akufo-Addo remarked, “Some individuals believed they were punishing me by supporting the NDC. However, I must remind them that I have fulfilled my two terms as president. So, who is truly suffering now?” Numerous Ghanaians have voiced their dissatisfaction with the current economic climate, characterized by soaring inflation, job losses, and an escalating cost of living. Some former NDC voters have expressed regret over their choice. Yaw Mensah, a taxi driver from Kumasi, confessed, “I voted for change, hoping for improvement. Yet now, fuel prices are exorbitant, and my customers are unhappy. Life has become more challenging than before.” In a similar vein, Abena Owusu, a market vendor in Accra, stated, “I trusted the promises made, but now I realize it was merely rhetoric. Conditions have worsened. Had I known, I would have reconsidered my vote.” The former president also highlighted his accomplishments during his tenure, asserting that significant advancements were made in education, infrastructure, and healthcare under his administration. “We introduced Free SHS to provide children with a brighter future. We diligently worked to enhance roads and healthcare services. Although we faced challenges, we strived to do our utmost for the nation,” Akufo-Addo remarked. He further attributed the current economic challenges to inadequate management by the NDC government, asserting, “Effective leadership involves making sound decisions. When poor choices are made, it is the populace that suffers
