"We are happy because, as the NPP, we don’t need President Mahama to fail for us to come back to power," Tonto stated. Tonto’s statement reflects a growing sentiment that political success should be evaluated on the merits of policies and leadership, rather than the failure of opponents. "We want President Mahama to succeed because his success is ultimately the success of Ghana," Tonto explained. "We believe that even in the face of Mahama’s success, Ghanaians can still decide that although you’ve done well, we need a leader whose vision transcends the ordinary," he said. In fact, they welcome positive developments under Mahama’s leadership as long as they are in the best interests of the country.
