John Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has come under fire from President Akufo-Addo for requesting that the president abstain from the general election in 2024.
In the general election scheduled for December 7, John Mahama has stated that he will face incumbent Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer Dr. President Akufo-Addo must therefore abstain from active campaigning in honor of Mahamudu Bawumia.
In response to Mahama's appeal, however, President Akufo-Addo told religious leaders in the Ashanti Region on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, that it would be reckless for anyone to skip the election because it would be the most important choice Ghanaians would have to make. In this contest, the former president claims that.
