The 2020 presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has said Election 2024 will be “a do-or-die” affair at the polling stations.
Speaking in a radio interview in Techiman as part of his “Thank you” tour, Mahama said while the NDC has accepted the results of Election 2020 and the legitimacy of President Akufo-Addo as the elected leader of the country, they (he and his party) would be extra vigilant in the next general election, especially at the polling stations.
“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 judgement 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.”
Security infiltration
Mahama said: “This current president has made elections life and death for him, he uses his Delta forces and invisible forces enrolled in the security agencies.
“You see some military and police officers and ask whether these are indeed officers. They wear earrings and all sort of things and you can’t tell whether this is a police officer or a soldier.
“We know they have infiltrated the security with some of their people
“Look at what happened at Techiman South the ways they shot at the crowd, it was intended to kill people.
“We hope that the next elections we won’t see scenes like that again.”
