Don’t vote for Mahama, he will destroy my legacy – Akufo-Addo

President Akufo-Addo has urged Ghanaians to oppose the candidacy of the National Democratic Congress’ John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming December elections.

He believes that electing the former President would reverse the progress made during his administration and put the nation’s development at risk.

Speaking to supporters at a mini rally in Doboro in the Greater Accra region after visiting the premises of Blue Skies Limited, President Akufo-Addo reiterated his support for Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the preferred presidential candidate.

“This is our election year and the limited registration has started. Anybody who hasn’t registered and is eligible should go and register. This is because your right to vote is your power.

“Also, when the time is up for the voting, our job is simple. The person I defeated and my work since I took over, seems not to please him, I cannot hand over power to such a person. He will destroy whatever we have done when he comes.”

He added “I am pleading with you to vote for the person I have worked with for the past seven and half years. I have faith in him and I know that he will come and continue the work I have begun as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.” 

The Electoral Commission has commenced a nationwide limited registration exercise for individuals who have turned eighteen. The exercise started today, May 7, and is scheduled to conclude on May 20.

However, there have been reports of technical challenges in several locations, hindering the smooth registration of eligible Ghanaian citizens.
