The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, has announced that the party will vigilantly oversee every stage of the 2024 general election, from the lead-up to the aftermath.
He emphasized that the NDC is committed to thoroughly scrutinizing all aspects to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
“I wish to assure all the people of Ghana, who intend to vote for the National Democratic Government (NDC), that we will protect every single vote,” Former President John Mahama, Flagbearer of the party, said on Saturday.
He mentioned that the party would leverage the tools available within the electoral process to ensure that its members oversee the December elections for transparent results.
Former President Mahama noted that the NDC had faced challenges with the Electoral Commission (EC) in past elections.
Nevertheless, he said the party had remained relatively composed, extending the EC the benefit of the doubt.
During the launch of the NDC’s 2024 election campaign in Tamale, the Flagbearer declared that no party member would rest until the votes were counted.
“Until all the ballots have been counted, none of us will sleep for 48 hours,” he said.
“This is an election like no other, and if you say you are NDC, you better get prepared. Everybody is going to volunteer.”
The former President pointed out that according to EC regulations, once ballot counting is finished and the pink sheets are completed, these sheets should be displayed on a wall at the polling station.
In light of this, he advised NDC polling station officials and members to ensure that returning officers post copies of the pink sheets on the walls of polling stations.
He also urged party supporters to photograph the pink sheets to serve as evidence for future reference.
