2024 election will be a true reflection of the people’s will – John Mahama assures

Former President John Mahama has assured his party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that the 2024 election will be manned with the keenest of vigilance to ensure the true will of the people is reflected in the outcome of the polls.

Speaking at an ‘End of Year Get-Together with party leadership, Members of Parliament and Parliamentary Candidates’ on Thursday, December 21, 2023, Mr Mahama indicated that the party should be prepared not to leave any stone unturned, as it seeks to wrestle power from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He emphasized the importance of securing and counting every vote to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.

“This is going to be the most tightly guarded election in the history of Ghana. We are going to make sure that not even a mosquito, –apologies to General [Johnson Asiedu Nketia] will be able to pass through the net that we are going to put around this election. We are going to leave no stone unturned to make this election a true reflection of the will of the people.

“We are going to leave no stone unturned. We will make this election a true reflection of the people’s will. We are going to make sure that the people’s votes are protected. I have heard enough of people walking up to me and telling me we voted for you but you did not protect our votes.

“We are going to protect their votes and make sure that the outcome of the elections will be a reflection of what the people of Ghana want,” he assured.

John Mahama faces fierce competition with the NPP’s Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the 2024 elections as he seeks a second term of office after being ousted from power in 2016 by President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
