Mahama Can Never Be Trusted; He Has Taken Us Back to the Dark Days of Dumsor — Aaron Asante Recounts the Dumsor Era

  President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have once again proven beyond doubt that they are the architects of Ghana’s energy woes. The infamous "dumsor" crisis, which crippled the nation during Mahama’s tenure, was not merely a series of power outages — it marked a severe disruption to Ghana’s economic stability.

Their promises of a 24-hour economy ring hollow to millions of hardworking Ghanaians. How can we entrust our future to a party that once led us into an era of consistent power failures? The recurrence of blackouts is a...
