Former President and Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, participated in the 2024 General Elections by casting his vote in Bole, in the Savannah Region.
After voting, Mr. Mahama expressed satisfaction with the process, commending its efficiency and ease.
He noted that it took him less than three minutes to complete voting for both the presidential and parliamentary candidates.
“From what I have seen here, the process is smooth and very easy. It didn’t take more than three minutes for me to finish voting. If this is the same everywhere in the country, then I think we would have successful elections,” he said.
Mr. Mahama also shared his prediction about the election’s outcome, describing it as one of the most transparent contests in recent history.
“This is one election that almost everyone can see what the results are going to be. Other elections have been not as obvious, but with this one, everybody can tell the direction it is going.”
The NDC leader attributed his confidence to public dissatisfaction with the current administration under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“Because of the abysmal performance of the Bawumia-Akufo-Addo government regarding the economy, the hardships people are facing, the increasing unemployment, and all the difficulties Ghanaians are going through, they want someone experienced who knows how to run things to come and rescue this country,” Mahama asserted.
On the parliamentary front, Mr. Mahama emphasized that the NDC is poised to secure an absolute majority in Parliament, signalling his optimism for a strong mandate to implement the party’s agenda.
The 2024 elections are seen as a critical moment for Ghana, with voters eager to decide on leadership that addresses the nation’s pressing economic and social challenges.
