Former President, John Dramani Mahama has issued a warning to President Akufo-Addo, cautioning against any interference in the outcome of the 2024 general elections.

Mahama, who leads the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as its flagbearer, expressed concerns over Akufo-Addo's recent remarks and actions during the 2020 general elections, suggesting a potential inclination towards manipulating the upcoming December 7 presidential election.

In a post on X, Mahama revealed that he had personally engaged with the president, advising him to ensure that the 2024 general election maintains fairness and transparency for the sake of his legacy.

Referring to past events like the Ayawaso West Wuogon incident and alleged state-sponsored violence during the 2020 election, Mahama emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and preventing any attempts to subvert the electoral process.

Mahama stressed that the determination of Ghana's future leadership lies solely with the electorate and divine will, reaffirming the power of the people in shaping the nation's destiny.

“Suppose we are to draw lessons from Ayawaso West Wuogon and the state-sponsored killing of eight innocent citizens during the 2020 election; we know that this president is capable of anything and would not hesitate to trample on Ghana's Constitution to manipulate the process in favour of his preferred successor.

“I can assure him that Ghanaians and the National Democratic Congress will not allow this to happen. As I advised him in Damongo on Saturday, the best legacy he can leave this country is to superintend over a peaceful, transparent, and credible election,” the former president wrote.

He concluded by urging Akufo-Addo to prioritize overseeing a peaceful, transparent, and credible election as the most significant legacy he could leave for the country.
