2024 Election will be “a do-or-die” affair – John Mahama
The defeated presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the December 2020 general election, John Dramani Mahama, has said Election 2024 will be “a do-or-die” affair for his party at the polling station.
Speaking in a radio interview in Techiman in the Bono Region, Mahama said while the NDC has accepted the results of Election 2020 and the legitimacy of President Akufo-Addo as Ghanas elected leader, they (he and his party) will be extra vigilant in the next general election, especially at the polling station.
“All of us have agreed that President Akufo-Addo is our legitimate leader. He is our recognised leader. We have accepted the Supreme Court’s judgment but the point is, one has to learn lessons in everything that happens. We have learnt our lessons out of the 2020 elections,” Mahama said.
He added: “The election will be won or lost at the polling station, so at the polling station, it will be ‘do or die’. I did not say ‘All die be die’, I said it will be do or die, because the right thing must be done.”
Mahama is currently embarking on the second phase of his nationwide tour to thank Ghanaians for their support and votes in the December 2020 election.
The one-week tour (7-13 September) will take him to the Bono East, Bono, Ahafo, Western North and Ashanti Regions.
The former president will meet with religious and traditional leaders, engage members, supporters and sympathisers of the NDC, and also interact with the media.
Joining him on the tour are his 2020 running mate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, the former chief of staff Julius Debrah, national, regional and constituency executives of the NDC, and a number of former appointees.
