The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says Ghana requires an experienced leader to address the current economic woes.

He contends that a trusted team is needed to spearhead efforts to change the economic fortunes of the country and not an experimental leader.

Speaking to the people of Sandema as part of his Upper East region campaign tour, Mahama stressed that the NDC must be given the nod to fix Ghana’s broken economy.

“This is the time when we need an experienced driver. This is not the time when we need a driver’s mate. And so the time is for experience. The time is for expertise. Because the situation in which our country is requires trusted and tried people who can turn our fortunes around.

“Our young people have no more time to waste on experiments. We don’t want any experimental leader to come and say we should try him and that even after four years if I don’t do well, you can change me. No. The time for experimentation is past. This is the time for trust and experience.”
