Election 2024: NDC shall win at the Polling Station, not Supreme Court – Mahama

Former President Mahama has served notice of the NDC’s intention to police the ballots during what he describes as a “do or die” 2024 poll.

According to him, following the party’s controversial loss in the 2020 elections, it has learnt lessons and has marshalled resources to win on the ground rather than seeking redress at the Supreme Court.

The NDC flagbearer is on a nationwide thank-you tour despite his defeat in the 2020 polls to incumbent President Akufo-Addo who secured 51.59 percent of valid votes cast as against his 47.36 percent.
In total, the NPP’s Akufo-Addo polled 6,730,413 votes against the NDC’s 6,214,889 of the total votes cast.

Appearing on Techiman-based Akina FM’s morning show on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, as he resumed the second phase of the Thank You tour, Mr Mahama, in an answer to a question said lessons have been painfully learnt and not forgotten.

“We have learnt our lessons from happenings during 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. The right thing must be done during the polls. We will win the elections at the polling station and won’t wait for collation centre results nor petition the Supreme Court if aggrieved,” he said.
