Former Ghanaian professional boxer Bukom Banku has urged Ghanaians to cast their votes in large numbers for John Dramani Mahama in the December 7, 2024 elections.

In a discussion on Class FM with Kwame Dwomoh-Agyemang, Banku expressed that Mahama represents the future of the nation, emphasizing his ability to improve the country’s situation, which he believes has deteriorated under the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

He further indicated that Ghanaians erred in replacing “the best president” Mahama with President Akufo-Addo.

“Akufo-Addo has shown he cannot manage the country. He’s taken all our money. There’s no money in Ghana. Ghana is an empty can now. No food, no water, no work. The youth are suffering,” Banku said.

He then added;

“Ghana has experienced Mahama’s governance before. He’s not new to us. He’s ruled before. However, Ghanaians did not understand Mahama and so voted him out. Now, Ghanaians want Mahama. Mahama is the best president the country has had,” he said.

“Nana will go and Mahama will come, and we’ll see what he can [also] do,” he predicted.

The singer and comedian expressed his support for the primary opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and its candidate, his friend Mahama.

He indicated that Mahama’s return to the Golden Jubilee House would alleviate the ongoing economic difficulties.

“I’m fighting for my party to come to power so I’ll be free. I’m campaigning for Mahama to win the 2024 election. He’s been my friend since his vice presidency. I’ve known him for 14 years now,” Banku said.
