National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Mahama, says he will only accept the 2024 election results if the process is transparent and credible.

The former president told the BBC in an interview that some electoral irregularities have characterised the upcoming elections.

He highlighted the importance of protecting the integrity of the election, stating that it is fundamental to Ghana’s democratic journey.

 

He insisted that any actions that undermine the credibility of the process would make it difficult for him to accept the results.

Mahama cited potential issues such as ballot snatching, voter intimidation, and the use of security forces to disrupt the process as threats to a credible election.

“If on the election day, there is widespread ballot snatching, beating of people and the military moving in and intimidating people and thugs are all over the place, rampaging the place, you want me to accept that result? It will depend on the transparency and the fairness of the process,” he stated.
