The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced sectoral spokespersons for its 2024 manifesto.
The announcement was made shortly after the party’s manifesto launch at the University of Education, Winneba, on Saturday, August 24.
Spokespersons on the economy include the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, former Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Mrs. Mona Helen Quartey, and Dr. Johnson Asiama.
Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament’s Education Committee, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak and Juaboso MP Kwabena Mintah Akandoh were also named on the education and health teams respectively.
The NDC’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, during the manifesto launch, urged the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) government to begin writing their handing over notes as it is time for Ghanaians to show them the exit out of governance for mismanaging the country’s economy.
He also promised to scrap what he said are draconian taxes within his first 100 days in office if he is elected as president in the upcoming December general elections.
The taxes earmarked for scrapping within the first 100 days of his assumption of office in January 2025 include the controversial E-levy, COVID levy, 10% levy on bet winnings, and emissions levy.
Below is the full list of appointed spokespersons.
