Former President John Dramani Mahama has warned aspirants contesting for the national executive positions in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to desist from associating him with candidature endorsement in the ongoing internal elections.
In a press release dated December 13, 2022, signed by the Special Aide to the former president, Joyce Bawah Mogtari indicated that “H.E John Dramani Mahama has no preference and has not endorsed any candidate in the ongoing NDC national executive elections, which climaxes on Saturday at the 10th National Delegates Congress”.
According to former President Mahama, although he has no preference, people are peddling allegations that his family have publicly endorsed one of the candidates.
” The Office of H.E John Dramani Mahama condemns a publication in a tabloid newspaper that the family of the former President is in support of one of the aspirants for the National Chairman of the NDC”.
Mr Mahama used the opportunity to remind the candidates of the task ahead of them: regain power in the 2024 general elections.
” Of paramount interest to President Mahama is a victory for the NDC in 2024 to work with expectant and suffering Ghanaians to “Build the Ghana we want”. He, like other supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will work with whoever the delegates choose and elect”.
