President John Dramani Mahama has urged the Electoral Commission (EC) to ensure a transparent and credible electoral process in the upcoming 2024 general election.
As part of his “Building Ghana Tour” in the Western North Region, the 2024 presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) emphasized the significance of ensuring that the genuine aspirations of the voters are reflected in the outcomes of the elections.
Mahama emphasized that the credibility of an election relies on the integrity of the Electoral Commission.
Addressing students at Wiawso College of Education and the Nursing Training College, Mahama made a direct appeal to Electoral Commission officers, calling on them to follow the rules and guarantee a just electoral process.
“They should do their duty to God and country. They shouldn’t cheat for anybody. I don’t want them to cheat for me, and they shouldn’t rig the election for anybody, they [EC] should let the wishes of the Ghanaian people prevail,” myjoyonline.com quoted him to have said.
He added “I have that experience; I have been President of Ghana before, and you all know the work that I did when I was President. I know that on 7th December 2024, insha Allah [God willing], NDC will win the election.”
John Mahama previously served as President of Ghana from 2012 to 2016, before losing to Akufo-Addo in the 2016 presidential election.
He unsuccessfully ran against Akufo-Addo again in the 2020 election.
He has expressed confidence that he can win in 2024 and bring about the changes he believes the country needs.
