The main opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, flagbearer in the 2020 election Mr John Dramani Mahama has said the party will not wait to petition the Supreme Court of Ghana with their electoral grievance.
It is for his reason that the NDC will have to treat the 2024 election as a 'do-or-die' affair especially at the polling station level.
He added in an interview on Akina FM in the Bono Region that the party has learnt its lessons from the 2020 election, and won't wait to let those lessons repeat.
He said he went to court just to calm down tensions but sounded a warning that the party will tackle the 2024 election in a "do or die" manner.
Portions of what Mahama said
“There is a saying that you take lessons from whatever happens. We have learnt our lessons from the 2020 polls. The 2024 elections will be won or lost at the polling station. It will be ‘do-or-die’ at the polling stations, I am not saying all-die-be-die.
“The right thing must be done during the polls. In 2024, we will win the elections at the polling station and won’t wait for collation centre results nor petition the Supreme Court.
“There at the collation centers and polling stations, we will make sure that everything is free, transparent and fair. We don’t want to cheat them and we don’t want to be cheated. Let the vote be clean and whatever is on the hearts of voters be done.”
2024 will be “DO or DIE” at every Polling Station - @JDMahama #NDCweb pic.twitter.com/8zS9r25c3j
