Shamima Muslim, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, asserted on the Citi Breakfast Show this Thursday, February 27, that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) better embodies the interests of Ghanaians compared to the New Patriotic Party (NPP). She explained that the NDC has proven more receptive to criticism and more committed to addressing the issues faced by everyday citizens.
“Having experienced both the NPP and NDC in power and opposition, I am of the considered opinion that on the issues we held them accountable for, the NDC is a better representation of the people than the NPP. And I have come to that decision based on experience—NDC is more tolerant to criticisms,” she stated.
Her remarks echo the sentiments of many Ghanaians who opted for change during the December 7, 2024, elections. In that contest, the NDC—led by John Dramani Mahama—secured a decisive victory over the NPP, reflecting a broad public desire for a new direction.

Mahama’s return to power was largely spurred by widespread dissatisfaction with economic hardships under the NPP administration. Voters cited rising inflation, a depreciating currency, high unemployment rates, and ongoing concerns over corruption as key reasons for their decision.
The NDC’s campaign, which focused on economic recovery, job creation, and the strengthening of democratic institutions, resonated strongly with many, particularly young voters and first-time participants frustrated with the current economic trajectory.
