Ghanaians will punish any government that refuses to deliver on its mandate - Omane Boamah to NDC

The Director of Election and IT of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has urged the Mahama-led administration to prioritise accountability, humility, and truthfulness as it steps into governance.

Dr. Boamah emphasised the need for the NDC to learn from past mistakes and focus on delivering on its mandates to avoid the punishment of Ghanaians.

He further highlighted the importance of being transparent with citizens, especially in times of challenges.

"We went into this election, yes, I had predicted 57.3%, but many disagreed. What this should tell us is that Ghanaians will punish any government that refuses to deliver on its mandate. For me, this is what our party must take into account as some of our people step into government. We must keep this at the back of our minds and serve the good people of Ghana in humility. Where it is impossible to do it, we should be truthful to the people of Ghana and tell them this is not possible, or that it will take some time to fix it. We should be truthful," he noted in a video shared on X by Metro TV on January 9, 2024.

The Director of Elections and IT expressed concern over the state of government institutions, describing them as decaying and pervasive.

He mentioned the Electoral Commission and the Judicial Service as examples of institutions that need reforms.

"There are a lot of our institutions that are decaying, and it's pervasive. Look at the Electoral Commission, look at the judiciary, and many others. We need to right the wrongs. We need to fix our country so that not just our generation, but the generations yet unborn, shall be proud that there came a generation that saw the wrongs that had gone on over the past eight years and were determined to address them. Look, I went into this election with a maximum estimate of 169 parliamentary seats. As we speak, the NDC is above 180," he added.

Dr. Boamah also lauded President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, highlighting his commitment to truthfulness and accountability.

”And that is why I'm happy. President Mahama spoke extensively about being truthful. President Mahama is committed to ensuring accountability,” he added.
