Any violence in the 2024 elections won’t come from NDC – Mahama

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stressed the need of justice as a basis for peace in the impending December elections stressing that any violence in the 2024 elections won’t come from the NDC.

Speaking at the funeral of former Information Minister John Tia Akologo in Duusi, Talensi District, Upper East Region, Mahama reiterated the NDC’s commitment to a nonviolent electoral process.

In his speech, Mahama declared, “If there is going to be violence, it will not come from us, the NDC.” He asked religious leaders to preach both peace and justice, emphasizing that the latter is necessary for accomplishing the former.

“We expect that the elections will be peaceful because we know we’re going to win. But I will crave our Reverend Fathers, when you preach about peace, also preach about justice because when there’s no justice, there is no peace,” he said.

Mahama also restated the NDC’s commitment to preventing election rigging attempts and maintaining a transparent electoral process which according to him shows that any violence in the 2024 elections won’t come from the NDC.
