The pledge made by National Democratic Congress flagbearer John Dramani Mahama to uphold the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy implemented by the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration has been questioned by Henry Nana Boakye, National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The Free SHS initiative was established to provide senior high school students nationwide with free education.

In an interview with Peace FM, Nana Boakye, also referred to as “Nana B,” stated his doubts about Mahama’s commitment to the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.

“Former President Mahama doesn’t like Free SHS and clearly when they come, they will cancel it. Their (NDC) behaviour and actions show they are against Free SHS.”

“If you have observed them, anytime they have the opportunity, they have never highlighted the positives. Every day it is the negatives.”

The Free SHS law has not yet been introduced to Parliament, and Nana B emphasized that NDC MPs are uneasy about it. She further urged Ghanaians not to support Mr. Mahama in the general elections of 2024.

“When you listen to the NDC MPs, you will see they are very jittery. We plead with you, Ghanaians, to know that Mr. John Dramani Mahama will cancel the Free SHS if he comes back. He does not believe in it. His actions, utterances and behaviour are proof of his hatred for the policy.

“Ghanaians must know clearly the character of John Dramani Mahama; he’s been President before and he was against Free SHS.

He never liked it. He said he won’t put his money into it. Vote against him. We want someone who will protect it; a party that is prepared to safeguard the Free SHS legacy,” he said.
