Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Former President John Dramani Mahama has served notice to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will not allow them to rig the 2024 general elections.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Mahama stated that it is only the voters who can decide who wins the elections, not the president.<\/p>\n

The flagbearer of the NDC said these in a post on his Facebook on Monday, April 29.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cThe almost eight years of Nana Addo\/Bawumia have done extensive damage to our democracy. As the clock ticks towards the end of his mandate, the President\u2019s attitude and utterances give much cause for concern. His recent insistence that chiefs stand up to greet him should be a matter of serious consternation for political watchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also recently stated that he cannot be succeeded by somebody he has defeated in previous elections. This connotes an arrogant nature and smacks an inherently anti-democratic personality, undermining the fundamental principle of the peaceful transition of power.<\/p>\n

\u201cNana Addo should be reminded that only the votes of the good people of Ghana and the will of the Almighty God will determine who succeeds him. This reaffirms the people\u2019s power in shaping our nation\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The best legacy Akufo-Addo can leave is to ensure a peaceful, transparent and credible election \u2013 Mahama<\/p>\n

He added \u201cSuppose we are to draw lessons from Ayawaso West Wuogon and the state-sponsored killing of eight innocent citizens during the 2020 election; we know that this President is capable of anything and would not hesitate to trample on Ghana\u2019s constitution to manipulate the process in favour of his preferred successor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can assure him that Ghanaians and the National Democratic Congress will not allow this to happen. As I advised him in Damongo on Saturday, the best legacy he can leave this country is to superintend over a peaceful, transparent, and credible election.\u201d<\/p>\n
