Former President John Dramani Mahama has emphasized the importance of a fair and transparent electoral process in the upcoming 2024 general election.

Speaking during his "Building Ghana Tour" in the Western North Region, Mr Mahama directly appealed to EC officers during a speech delivered to students at Wiawso College of Education and the Nursing Training College. He urged them to adhere strictly to the rules, emphasizing the need for the genuine aspirations of voters to be reflected in the outcomes of the elections.

"They should do their duty to God and country. They shouldn't cheat for anybody. I don't want them to cheat for me, and they shouldn't rig the election for anybody; they [EC] should let the wishes of the Ghanaian people prevail," Mahama asserted, as reported by myjoyonline.com.

Drawing from his experience as Ghana's President from 2012 to 2016, Mahama stressed that the credibility of the election rests on the integrity of the Electoral Commission. He spoke passionately about his commitment to a just electoral process, emphasizing that the EC should not manipulate the results in favor of any political party, including his own.

"I have that experience; I have been President of Ghana before, and you all know the work that I did when I was President. I know that on 7th December 2024, insha Allah [God willing], NDC will win the election," Mahama confidently declared.

The former President, who previously ran against and lost to President Akufo-Addo in the 2016 and 2020 elections, respectively, has expressed unwavering confidence in his ability to secure victory in the upcoming 2024 election. Mahama is determined to bring about the changes he believes Ghana needs, underlining his commitment to a democratic and transparent electoral process.

As the nation gears up for the 2024 elections, Mahama's plea to the Electoral Commission echoes the broader call for a fair, credible, and transparent electoral system that truly reflects the will of the Ghanaian people.
