On Friday, December 9, 2016, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) Charlotte Osei declared Nana Akufo-Addo the president-elect after the December 7 elections.

Nana Addo polled 5, 716,026 million votes representing 53.85 % to beat the incumbent president John Dramani Mahama who had 4, 713,277 million votes representing 44.40 %.

Currently, Ghana's population can be described as one with more young people. Most political parties targeted the millennials (born between 1982 and 2004) in the country.

This means a greater portion of millennials were part of the electoral process. It could also mean a greater number of millennials voted for the NPP’s Nana Akufo-Addo.

One will wonder what their expectations are for a Nana Addo-led government.

Samuel Ansah is a twenty-eight-year-old Ghanaian. He expects the NPP government do a number of things but priority should be placed on solving the power challenges in the country.

“No dumsor, reduce some taxes, and utilities, make water and electricity available to the rural areas.”

Most millennials expect Nana Addo to continue the uncompleted projects of the NDC government. In times past, successive governments stop the projects of their predecessors and begin with their own. However, milleanials would want Nana Addo to move from the norm and also prevent judgement debts from being paid.

“He should try as much as possible to complete the uncompleted project of NDC. This will not incur judgement debts.” Samuel Ansah said.

Emmanuel Obese reiterates this and said he should “continue Mahama's unfinished projects.”

In the NPP’s 2016 manifesto, they mentioned that they will reduce corporate taxes from 25% to 20% and also remove 17.5% VAT on financial services, local flights, and return to a flat 3% flat tax for small businesses.

For Raymond who is a 27-year old, he expects a Nana Addo-led government to reduce taxes as it promised in its manifesto.

Kwaku Duodo a teacher in one of Ghana’s Senior High Schools expects Nana Addo to ensure that “all our salary arrears are paid.” He also expects the NPP to restore the teacher training allowance as promised during the campaign.

Duodo said “it was because of these two promises I voted for him. If he does not do anything about it in his first term then he should be ready to be a one-term president.”

For Naadu Laryea, she hopes the NPP will create more jobs. “Most young people are unemployed or are being paid little. I only want the NPP to ensure there are enough jobs for all. They should not only employ their party members.”

Raymond corroborates it by saying that Nana Addo needs to do as stated in his 2016 manifesto. “He needs to provide jobs for the youth or better still ensure the business world is favourable for the private sector to create enough jobs for the citizens.”

One of the key campaign slogans was one this, one that. Nana Addo promised to build one factory in every district in the country.

Joel Atta only wants him to fulfil his promises of one this one that.

“He was voted for because he promised some stuff. We want him to deliver all. One village one dam, one district one factory, one million dollars for every constituency. Restore teacher's allowance, and reduce Utility.”

Anita Sey expects Nana Addo to fight corruption and also appoint young people to serve in his government so they can also learn from the older generation.

“Fight corruption. Leadership blend of young and old. Not just babies with sharp teeth.”
