Mahama alleges that corruption has infiltrated Nana Addo's government

John Mahama, the NDC's flagbearer, has criticized the alleged corruption within the current government during his tour of the Volta region.

He emphasized the NPP's perceived inability to combat corruption due to involvement within their own ranks.

Mahama pledged to address corruption if elected, urging accountability and cautioning party members against misconduct in positions of authority.
