The 2024 flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has called on party members to remain vigilant until all ballots are counted by the Electoral Commission (EC) in the 2024 general elections.

Speaking at the NDC’s campaign launch in Tamale on Saturday, July 27, Mr Mahama urged supporters to commit to protecting the ballot boxes on Election Day.

He emphasised the importance of monitoring every aspect of the electoral process to prevent any potential rigging in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The former president assured Ghanaians, urging them to vote massively for him and trust the party to secure their votes.

He highlighted that the NDC has implemented sufficient measures to ensure the will of the Ghanaian people is not subverted.

Mr Mahama also encouraged the NDC faithful to safeguard every vote to ensure a fair election actively.

“Everybody needs to prepare, we’re not going to sleep for 48 hours until all the ballots have been counted. None of us is going to sleep for 48 hours until all the ballots have been counted.”

“And I wish to assure all Ghanaians who intend to vote for the NDC, I can promise you that we will protect every single vote."

“We have had our issue with the Electoral Commission, but we’re prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt,” he noted.
