Nana B pleads with Mahama to be circumspect with his uterances.

03/02/2024

After Former President John Dramani Mahama, waded into the debate on the EC of Ghana's election date proposal, a caveat has been sent to him to refrain from blame game politiking in the event of an unsuccessful presidential bid against the EC of Ghana. The former President has been pedantic of the EC, particularly concerning new reforms regarding the upcoming 2024 general elections, and referenced the Commission's determination to alter the country's general election date.

The Electoral Commission has acknowledged receipt of a petition by Seventh-day Adventists and some Ghanaians to change the election date from December 7, in other not to disenfranchised the aforementioned sect in the 2024 elections. However, the National Democratic Congress and their leader, John Mahama, have opposed the decision, and in the opinion of the former President, should the Electoral Commission go on with the reform, it may result in mayhem.

In a panel discussion on the issue on Peace FM's morning show "Kokrokoo", Henry Nana Boakye, NPP National Organizer, warned the former President to be mindful of his tongue. He stated that though he (Mahama) has the right to express his mind on an issue, he shouldn't make inciteful comments that provoke riots. "We don't want former President Mahama to go to court again. We (NPP) won't go to court because we will win the election...We don't want him (Mahama) to go to court again, but we plead with him to be measured in his utterances. If the Electoral Commission introduces reforms and you disagree, express your mind, but for him to issue a threat that if it doesn't do this or that, then there will be chaos, I plead with Mr. Mahama to tone down," he warned.
