At the funeral of the late former Minister of Information, John Tia Akologo, in Duusi, Talensi District of the Upper East Region, the 2024 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has restated his commitment to ensuring peaceful elections in December.

Mahama highlighted the NDC's track record of winning elections conducted under peaceful conditions and cautioned against any attempts to manipulate or rig the upcoming elections.

He urged the clergy to advocate not only for peace but also for justice, which he deemed crucial for maintaining a peaceful electoral process, stressing the importance of fairness and transparency.

Mahama asserted that any violence during the electoral process would not come from the NDC and reaffirmed the party's commitment to peaceful and democratic means of contesting elections, urging supporters to uphold democratic principles.

As the December elections approach, Mahama pledged to prioritize peace and justice, reflecting the NDC's dedication to fostering a democratic and stable political environment in Ghana.

“We expect that the elections will be peaceful because we know we’re going to win. If there’s going to be violence, it will not come from us, the NDC."

“But I will crave our Reverend Fathers when you preach about peace, also preach about justice because when there’s no justice, there is no peace.”

“We are for peace, but we will resist any attempts to rig this election. I assure Reverend Father that we will play our part to have a free, fair and transparent election. And we believe that God will rescue our country from the crisis we find ourselves in," he stated.
