Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin, has urged Ghanaians to embrace the number eight in the upcoming 2024 elections, associating it with excellence.His message came after John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) were assigned the number 8 position on the December 7 ballot paper.Bagbin emphasized the significance of the number, encouraging citizens not to "break the eight" but rather to "choose it" for its symbolic value.“8 is excellence. Don’t break it. Choose it!” his post shared via social media read.This contrasts with the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) ongoing campaign, which seeks to extend its governance beyond the traditional eight-year cycle, a move they describe as "breaking the eight."The NPP argued that an extended term would allow them to fully implement their vision for the country.Bagbin, however, suggests that the eight-year limit should remain, signaling a preference for the established political rhythm in Ghana.
