The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged his steadfast commitment to ensuring peace as Ghana prepares for the 2024 general elections.
Addressing attendees at the 31st Biennial General Council meeting of the Assemblies of God Church at the CK Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS) in Navrongo, Upper East Region, Mr. Mahama reiterated his dedication to upholding a peaceful electoral process.
“As we go into another election, there is often a general sense of apprehension that something will go wrong. As a member of your church, I can assure you and pledge that I am a person of peace, and if there is any violence, it won’t come from me. I will do everything to ensure that Ghana remains peaceful,” he pledged.
Mahama stressed that political power should never come at the expense of Ghanaian lives or their safety.
“If you resort to violence, it is the same people you are coming to govern. And so, I don’t think that even a single drop of any Ghanaian blood is worth political power or coming into office,” he stated.
His remarks were met with applause from the over 2,500 pastors and delegates, both local and international, who appreciated his pledge to a peaceful election.
