Speaking to a charged crowd of students of the Wiaso College of Education and Nursing Training in the Western North Region as part of the \u2018Building Ghana Together’ tour, the former president said a credible election is dependent on the posture of the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should do their duty to God and country. They shouldn’t cheat for anybody. I don’t want them to cheat for me and they shouldn’t rig the election for anybody\u201d, John Mahama stressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should let the wishes of the Ghanaian people prevail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cElectoral Commission Officers, I am appealing to your conscience and your heart, on that day 7th December when you come out, do your work as strictly and according to the rules as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n

He further stressed that the country \u2018needs rescuing’<\/p>\n

\u201cI have that experience, I have been President of Ghana before and you all know the work that I did when I was President. I know that on 7th December, 2024, Insha Allah, NDC will win the election\u201d.<\/p>\n

He urged the teaming supporters to vote in their numbers to bring the NDC back to power for the country to regain its economic strength.<\/p>\n
