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.
Speaking to supporters at a small gathering in Doboro, Greater Accra, after seeing Blue Skies Limited’s facilities, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that he supports 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.”
The Electoral Commission has started a nationwide limited registration exercise for persons who turned eighteen. The exercise began today, May 7 and is expected to end on May 20.
