John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), 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, Mahama urged supporters to commit to protecting the ballot boxes on election day.

He emphasised that every aspect of the electoral process will be closely monitored to prevent any potential rigging in favour of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“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 benefits of the doubt,” he assured.
