Former President and National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has promised to develop truly affordable and accessible social housing for ordinary Ghanaians if elected President in the December 7 polls.

In a meeting with the National Tenants Union on Thursday, June 27, 2024, Mr Mahama outlined his plans to address Ghana's housing deficit by building low-cost houses across the country.

He stressed the importance of housing as a crucial need and expressed his commitment to making it a key legacy of his presidency.

Mr Mahama also vowed to push for the passage of the Rent Control Bill to prevent tenants from being unfairly burdened with paying more than one year's rent in advance.

He expressed empathy for the 19 million people in Ghana who are renting and committed to building a brighter future for all Ghanaians, with housing being a pivotal aspect of that vision.
