Mahama Promises Youth “Well-paying” Jobs

The flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has promised among other things “well-paying” jobs for the youth of the country when he is given the mandate to rule the country once again.

This was contained a Facebook post encouraging persons who just turned 18 years old and those yet to register for the elections to take advantage of the Mop-up exercise which starts today in order to alter their destinies with their vote in December.

The former President says he will provide suitable jobs with their attendant lucrative wages when voted into power together with his Running Mate, Prof Jean Naana Opoku Agyemang.

“Remember, your vote is not just a right; it’s power—the power to change this non-performing and unrepentantly corrupt NPP government—the power to change and bring in the Mahama government, which is not just promising change but poised to build Ghana we all want together.

“With Naana Jane and I in the Flagstaff House from January 07, 2025, you’re assured of decent and well-paying jobs through the 24-hour economy initiative. You’re also assured of gender equality, an improved free SHS programme, and a relentless fight against injustice and corruption.”
Mop-up Exercise
The exercise will take place at the 268 district offices of the Commission, 26 Public Universities and 41 Prison Centres across the country from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

The Electoral Commission is looking forward to a stable network for the smooth running of the exercise as it will be conducted online.

Applicants are required to present either the Ghana Card or Passport as forms of identification, it noted, adding that in the absence of any of the two forms of identification, two registered voters can guarantee for an Applicant through the Guarantor System.

The EC is anticipating registering between 50,000 and 70,000 new voters in its scheduled mop-up exercise from August 1 to 3.
