Election 2024: Protest against EC aims to ensure peaceful electoral process – Mahama

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has defended the party’s decision to protest against the Electoral Commission (EC).

The NDC has raised concerns about the accuracy of the voters’ register, arguing that discrepancies could compromise the integrity of the December 7 elections.

During a community engagement as part of phase two of his Greater Accra regional tour, Mahama encouraged Ghanaians to support the NDC’s call for a credible and transparent register to ensure a fair electoral process.

“And I just want to make a point that our issues with the Electoral Commission are not because we don’t like the commissioners or the EC. Our issue with the Electoral Commission is that we want peace during and after the election.

“So when we raise issues about the electoral process, it is because we want the EC to sit up and do its job so that all of us can have confidence in the electoral process.

“And the only way we can get the EC to do its job is to pressure the EC to do it. And that is why on the 17th of this month, that is next Tuesday, we are doing a demonstration at the EC office. And that demonstration is not only NDC, it is all Ghanaians who are willing to join the demonstration so that we go and tell EC to sit up and do its work properly so that we have a peaceful election. That’s the purpose of that demonstration.”
