The National Democratic Congress (NDC), according to former president John Dramani Mahama, will triumph in the general elections of 2024 hence the incumbency should take note and know how to ‘hand over’ appropriately. 

The newly-elected NDC flagbearer stated that the governing party needs to start putting together its handover notes and be ready to answer questions about their stewardship in a statement delivered at the University for Development Studies (UDS) said on Saturday, May 13 while giving formal acceptance speech following his victory in the NDC’s presidential primary contest. 

He is quoted as saying; 

They must start preparing their handover notes and get ready to account to the people for their stewardship. Ours will be a progressive government that provides equal opportunities for decent and sustainable livelihoods. By working together with Ghanaians we shall turn Ghana’s hopeless and gloom today into a better and brighter tomorrow.

He also expressed his gratitude to the Electoral Commission (EC) for successfully overseeing and running theNDC’s presidential and parliamentary primaries.

I also wish to thank the staff of the EC for their support in making our parliamentary and presidential primaries a resounding success. My special thanks go to Mr Serebuor Quaicoe and his district election director for working over and above the call of duty to ensure a successful election.
