I’ll prosecute corrupt NPP and NDC members from 2025 is the latest promise made by John Dramani Mahama which has shocked many at both ends of the political divide.
Ahead of the 2024 election year and the election in December 2024, John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed that he will prosecute individuals involved in corruption or corruption-related activities.
According to the former president, the rate of corruption in Ghana today, which is not only unchecked and widespread, has the tendency to destroy the country.
He revealed this during a tour of the Volta Region, which commenced on Thursday, January 11, 2024, from Tegbi, the former President accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) of displaying a lack of interest in combating corruption, attributing it to the alleged involvement of party members in corrupt practices.
“So I have said if they [NPP] can’t deal with it when we come, we will deal with it for them. When NDC comes, we will hold those who have misconducted themselves accountable,” Mr Mahama said.

It is via this journey that Mahama will have the opportunity to interact with Ghanaians, particularly those who are fans and sympathizers of the New Democratic Congress (NDC), in a number of different cities and villages in order to gain an understanding of their problems and hopes for a thriving Ghana.
When Mahama addressed the gathering in Tegbi, he issued a warning that members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who were elected or appointed to public offices would likewise be subject to sanctions for indulging in corrupt acts.
He emphasized his commitment to accountability, stating, “But I must also caution our people that those of us who go into positions of authority if you also abuse your trust, I’m not going to come and defend you. The anti-corruption institutions will deal with you as we are going to deal with members of this [NPP] government,” he said.
