President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming December elections. He warned that voting for the former President could undermine the progress achieved during his tenure and potentially derail the nation’s future.
Speaking at a mini rally in Doboro in the Greater Accra region after visiting the Blue Skies Limited premises, President Akufo-Addo made it clear that his support lies with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he endorses as the ideal candidate for the presidency.
“This is our election year and the limited registration has started. Anybody who hasn’t registered and is eligible should go and register. This is because your right to vote is your power,” the President said.
“Also, when the time is up for the voting, our job is simple. The person I defeated and my work since I took over, seems not to please him, I cannot hand over power to such a person. He will destroy whatever we have done when he comes.”
President Akufo-Addo appealed to the crowd to vote for the candidate he has trusted and worked with for the past seven and a half years, emphasizing that Dr Bawumia would continue the good work he had begun.
“I am pleading with you to vote for the person I have worked with for the past seven and half years. I have faith in him and I know that he will come and continue the work I have begun as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia,” he stated.
The Electoral Commission has commenced a nationwide limited registration exercise for individuals who have turned eighteen. The exercise, which started on May 7, is expected to run until May 20, providing an opportunity for new voters to register in preparation for the December elections.
