The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, says he is excited about the 8^th position on the ballot paper for the presidential election.

His comments come after the balloting exercise conducted by the electoral commission on September 20, 2024.

This exercise however, was marked by some chaos as concerns were raised that one of the balls had a unique feature that could compromise the integrity of the process.

The commission agreed to replace the affected ball, and the process was re-run from scratch.

The NDC selected the number 8, confirming their eighth position on the ballot paper.

"I am excited that we picked No. 8 on the ballot for the upcoming presidential election. Let's make this a number of hope and change on December 7,” he said.
