Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has emphasized the need for heightened vigilance among party members in the Greater Accra Region ahead of the 2024 general elections.
During his ‘Building Ghana Tour’ in Accra, Mahama highlighted that the NDC’s loss in the 2020 elections was attributed to various irregularities. He emphasized the importance of addressing these issues to ensure a fair electoral process.
Following their defeat in the 2020 polls, the NDC pursued legal action at the Supreme Court to address their concerns about electoral irregularities.
Speaking to NDC executives and key stakeholders, Mahama underscored the significance of strengthening efforts to secure victory in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Mahama highlighted the critical role of vigilance, stating, “One of the key things in this election is vigilance, we can do all the campaigning we want, but if we are not vigilant on the day, and we don’t cover every single polling station with eagles’ eyes. You can do all the beautiful things you can, razzmatazz and in the end, you don’t achieve the target you want.”
He urged executives to carefully select capable agents to represent the party during the polls.
“So Greater Accra Region, we want you to cover all the polling stations with the best party agents. The election directory, you are aware, is conducting some exercises. They’ve been conducting exams for election directors in their constituencies and the regions because we need the best people who understand the electoral system to be able to monitor the elections in the region.
