In the upcoming December elections, President Akufo-Addo is pleading with Ghanaians to vote against National Democratic Congress candidate John Dramani Mahama.
He said that supporting the former president would risk the country’s course and undo the gains made during his administration.
After visiting the Blue Skies Limited headquarters, President Akufo-Addo spoke to supporters at a small rally in Doboro, in the Greater Accra region. He emphasized that he still supported Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the front-runner for the president.
“This is our election year and the limited registration has started. Anybody who hasn’t registered and is eligible should go and register. This is because your right to vote is your power.
“Also, when the time is up for the voting, our job is simple. The person I defeated and my work since I took over, seems not to please him, I cannot hand over power to such a person. He will destroy whatever we have done when he comes.”
He added “I am pleading with you to vote for the person I have worked with for the past seven and half years. I have faith in him and I know that he will come and continue the work I have begun as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.”
For those who turned eighteen, the Electoral Commission has launched a restricted registration drive across the country. The drill is scheduled to conclude on May 20th, having started today, May 7.
