I’m a peaceful man, any election violence won’t come from me – Mahama
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has assured Ghanaians of his unwavering commitment to peace as the nation approaches the 2024 general elections.
Speaking at the 31st Biennial General Council meeting of the Assemblies of God Church, held at the CK Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences (CKT-UTAS) in Navrongo, Upper East Region, Mr. Mahama reaffirmed his dedication to maintaining a peaceful electoral environment.
“As we go into another election, there is often a general sense of apprehension that something will go wrong. As a member of your church, I can assure you and pledge that I am a person of peace, and if there is any violence, it won’t come from me. I will do everything to ensure that Ghana remains peaceful,” he pledged.
Mahama emphasised the importance of maintaining peace during the electoral process, highlighting that political power should not come at the cost of the lives or well-being of Ghanaians.
“If you resort to violence, it is the same people you are coming to govern. And so, I don’t think that even a single drop of any Ghanaian blood is worth political power or coming into office,” he stated.
His remark received applause from the over 2,500 pastors and delegates, local and foreign in appreciation of his commitment to ensuring a peaceful election.
