A senior member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), PV Jantuah Dadson, has called for a more rigorous assessment of President John Dramani Mahama’s flagship “Reset Agenda,” urging Ghanaians to prioritise tangible outcomes over early signs of progress.
A former presidential staffer, he acknowledged that while some good things are happening, these developments do not yet amount to meaningful results under the policy framework.
“Ghanaians must attest to the promised RESET by 2028… let’s concentrate on milestones,” he said, stressing the importance of measurable indicators over the government’s four-year mandate.
The “Resetting Ghana Agenda” was introduced following Mahama’s return to office in 2025, positioned as a broad reform programme aimed at restoring economic stability, rebuilding public trust, and strengthening state institutions.

The government has pointed to early gains, including signs of economic stabilisation and renewed investor confidence, with the president maintaining that the agenda is already yielding results.
Officials have also highlighted governance reforms such as a leaner government structure, anti-corruption initiatives like “Operation Recover All Loots” (ORAL), and renewed efforts to improve accountability across public institutions.
However, policy analysts and civil society organisations have cautioned that implementation remains uneven—particularly in tackling corruption and delivering broad-based economic relief.
Mahama’s reset agenda was launched against the backdrop of a severe economic crisis marked by high inflation, rising debt, and widespread public dissatisfaction, which shaped voter expectations ahead of the 2024 general elections.
Dadson’s comments reflect growing pressure within political and policy circles for the administration to convert policy direction into visible improvements in living conditions, as many Ghanaians continue to grapple with the high cost of living.
