Mr Mahama expressed gratitude and thankfulness to the delegates and NDC supporters for the vote of confidence and unshakable conviction they have in him.

Mr Mahama emphasised that the NDC must win the 2024 election to enable them “build the Ghana we want”.

He called on the New Patriotic Party government to start preparing its handing over notes and be prepared to account to the people of Ghana for their stewardship.
