The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has asked all party executives and members to vote in the December elections to guarantee that the people’s will is appropriately upheld.
Speaking on Saturday, July 27, at the NDC’s Tamale campaign launch, Mahama said the party has learned from its mistakes with the Electoral Commission and will not spare any detail in the elections scheduled for December.
He made it clear that every step of the election process will be strictly watched in order to thwart any possible manipulation in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) advantage.
“Everybody needs to prepare, we’re not going to sleep for 48 hours until all the ballots have been counted. None of us is going to sleep for 48 hours until all the ballots have been counted.”
“And I wish to assure all Ghanaians who intend to vote for the NDC, I can promise you that we will protect every single vote.
“We have had our issue with the Electoral Commission, but we’re prepared to give them the benefits of the doubt,” he reiterated.
George Opare Addo, the NDC’s National Youth Organizer, has mirrored Mahama’s remarks in the meanwhile.
He claims that the party’s Youth Wing will do every effort to safeguard ballots in the general elections in 2024.
He issued a warning, saying that anyone trying to steal ballot boxes would face consequences from the NDC.
“My last message is to the Electoral Commission, Madam Jane Mensa, come December 7…we’re not asking anybody to cheat for NDC, we’re very confident we’re winning the elections. But woe unto any man born of a woman, who would dare go to any polling station and do the untoward, we will face them squarely.
“We were in the Assin North and we protected the ballot boxes, and we will protect the ballot boxes at the peril of our lives come December 7.”
“We’re looking for a Ghana that we all want. We’re looking for a Ghana where our dreams and aspirations can be met. I believe in the vision of John Mahama, when he promises he does it, Mahama is the key to the problems we are looking for.”
According to him, the youth are demanding that NDC leader John Dramani Mahama save the country.
