As the upcoming elections draw near, John Dramani Mahama, the Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2024 elections, has earnestly appealed to the Electoral Commission (EC) to ensure a fair and credible general election without any form of manipulation.

Addressing an enthusiastic gathering of students at the Wiaso College of Education and Nursing Training in the Western North Region during the 'Building Ghana Together' tour, the former president emphasized the crucial role the Electoral Commission plays in upholding the integrity of the electoral process.

Mahama expressed, “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 should let the wishes of the Ghanaian people prevail,” he said.

Directing his appeal to the Electoral Commission officers, Mahama urged them to conscientiously carry out their responsibilities on Election Day, adhering strictly to the established rules and regulations.

He emphasized the need for a free and transparent electoral environment.

Reflecting on his previous experience as President of Ghana, Mahama asserted, “Electoral Commission Officers, I am appealing to your conscience and your heart, on that day 7th December when you come out, do your work as strictly and according to the rules as possible”.

“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, NDC will win the election".

Encouraging the supporters, Mahama urged them to exercise their right to vote in large numbers, expressing his belief that the NDC's return to power would contribute to the country regaining its economic strength.
