Aspiring Presidential candidate of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, says the party will complete collation of the Presidential election results by 1:00am on December 8, 2024.

According to him, a robust coalition system will be put in place for real time collation of the results from across the country, which the party envisions to know the final results by midnight, after voting.

“After the election, we will start the training of party agents. The constituency executives will be part of the training because you will supervise the party agents. I want to ensure that on 8th December, 2024 by 1:00am, the party will complete collation of its results for Victory.”

The Akufo Addo-led administration was criticized by John Dramani Mahama, for making lofty and unrealistic promises to deceive Ghanaians and the fact that the government claimed it was going to transform the country within one and a half year. Mahama, however, averred that the government has rather been badly exposed, with the mess created to the economy and its unfulfilled promises.

He said the NDC will not go on that tangent of making lofty promises and that it’s track records will speak for itself.

“Wherever I go the chiefs, the youth and everybody has been testifying that it was during the time of NDC that they were connected to the national grid. The people credit the NDC for their water, hospitals, schools, road among others, that they had all these during the tenure of NDC.
“NDC, we don’t discriminate that this constituency did not vote for us, so we won’t give them development. We distribute development evenly, we the NDC will not give Ghanaians lofty promises because Ghanaians have seen what we have done and what we can do.”

John Dramani Mahama stated in what appears to be a subtle response, to the threat by Bryan Acheampong that the ruling NPP will never hand over power to NDC.

“It is God who installs a leader, so man cannot change the will of God. So, we don’t mind what people are saying because it is the will of God. As a Christian believer, I have Faith in God. whenever I kneel to pray, God speaks to me that this is the time of NDC and that power has been given to us.
“No number of tantrums can change the will of God. So, we should continue to pray and trust that whatever God has said can come to pass. We only need to work hard because the hard-work at the Constituency levels, will help secure the victory.”

NDC To Reward Branch And Constituency Executives

Addressing delegates at Somanya, Mahama claimed that the party will institute a reward scheme that recognizes and empowers grassroots party executives.

“We’re going to look at all the results starting from 2012, 2016, 2020 and for every branch, we’re going to give you a percentage that we want you to increase your votes by. If you achieve that percentage or exceed it, all you the nine-member executives, we’re going to reward you. And it’ll be the same for the constituency executive.
“We have 28 constituency executives in each constituency, we’re also going to give the constituency executives a target and if you also exceed that target, all you the 28 constituency executives, you’ll get a handsome reward.”

Mahama stated that since the NDC is a revolutionary party, many have sacrificed for the rest of Ghanaians to enjoy, claiming that many party executives have worked for free, without expecting any reward.

“But we’re in new times, our party executives are also Ghanaians, they’re entitled to benefit from the opportunities that Ghana has to offer. So, I want to assure you that when we come into office, any opportunity that is available in Ghana for Ghanaians, our party executives are also going to benefit.”
