Mr. Mahama added that the country is at a very crucial stage and does not need to experiment with a trial and error president. The president also stated that Ghana needs a leader who is understanding and can stand criticism from his party members and not a dictator who divides his party. The president addressing supporters at Bimbilla said a leader who cannot unite his political party is not worthy of becoming a president of Ghana. “We are looking for a leader who can unite Ghana and not a leader who will divide Ghana, if you can’t unite your own party, how do you unite a nation,” President Mahama amid cheers from his supporters.
