The National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, has urged the Christian community to speak out on problems concerning the 2024 election.
The former president expressed reservations about the recently completed Ejusu by-election and the ongoing limited voter registration process.
He stated that the church has a responsibility to express concerns about the issues facing political systems.
He made the statements when speaking with the Christian Ecumenical Council on Monday. He believes the church should campaign for neutrality and promote a free and fair election.
“This is a president who is appointing politically exposed people into positions of trust where they are supposed to be neutral and non-partisan and so people who have been communicators for the party, people who have been IT backstops for the party, today are Commissioners of the Electoral Commission. How do you expect them to be neutral and fair in what is happening?
“People who were patrons of TESCON on campus are today Commissioners of the Electoral Commission. But we want to wake up the conscience of the nation that the right thing must be done so that the outcome can actually be the will of the people.
“So going up to the election, We will continue to play our part. We will raise the red flags anytime we think things are not going very well. And we believe that the church community should also keep an eye and be vigilant in terms of making sure that the right thing is done.”
