‘Be of good cheer because the new era to reset our country beckons’ – Mahama

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama has urged the country’s security and media personnel who cast their ballots in the special voting exercise on December 2, not to worry about the hitches experienced.

According to him, an NDC government under his leadership will change things for the better.

In a Facebook post after the special voting exercise on December 2, Mr Mahama wrote, “Our security and media personnel and staff of the Electoral Commission of Ghana have voted today. And I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming assurance my team and I received from you. Unfortunately, some of you could not vote because your details could not be traced in the Special Voters List. I urge you to be of good cheer because the new era to reset our country beckons. Thank you for opting for change.”

He bemoaned the fact that voting in the Eastern and Western regions could not be held as previously scheduled.

“Regrettably, Special Voting in Eastern and Western regions remain postponed to Thursday, December 5, 2024, adding more burden to your numerous socio-economic challenges,” John Mahama stated.

Background
