John Dramani Mahama, a former president of Ghana, has declared that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not relent in its pursuit of power in the general elections of 2024.
The NDC will prioritize the polling places in its quest to safeguard its mandate after the vote, he told party supporters during a campaign stop in the Tain and Banda constituency of the Bono East Region.
Mahama, who is running for president for a record fourth time, emphasizes the seriousness the NDC will take in 2024 with the usage of two contentious expressions in Ghanaian political jargon.
“I have no doubt that NDC will win the 2024 elections. So, the vote will be a do or die affair and we will be matching them boot to boot at the polling station.

“When the time comes, we will take names of polling station agents and I plead that we need educated persons who can do at least arithmetic, so, that you can decipher what we really got and to ensure the biometric details match the number of papers in a ballots box.
“It is not about who is older in the party. We need a knowledgeable person who can be trained to undertake the task. You can bring your wards who are educated to be trained for the purpose,” he stressed.
Mahama, who will face off against four other competitors, stated that the NDC intended to have its own results compiled by December 7 at midnight.
“With that, when voting ends at 5 pm, we will be able to declare our victory by midnight. We would have our results. We won’t sleep on the evening of 7th December till we have assured ourselves of victory,” he added to massive applause.
