Former President to Represent NDC in 2024 Presidential Elections
Former Ghanaian President, John Dramani Mahama has emerged victorious in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential primaries held today. Mahama won by a significant margin, garnering over 95% of the votes cast. His victory paves the way for him to represent the NDC in the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
Mahama’s candidacy had been heavily anticipated, given his previous experience as the country’s leader. He had previously served as president from 2012 to 2017 and was the NDC’s candidate in the 2016 presidential elections, where he narrowly lost to the incumbent President, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The primaries, which were conducted peacefully, saw a high turnout of party members from across the country. After several hours of counting, the Electoral Commission of Ghana declared Mahama as the winner, amid cheers and celebrations from his supporters.
In his acceptance speech, Mahama expressed gratitude to the party members for their overwhelming support. He promised to work tirelessly to ensure that the NDC secures victory in the upcoming elections. Mahama also acknowledged the challenges facing the country, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and pledged to implement policies that would address these issues.
Mahama’s victory sets the stage for what is expected to be a highly contested presidential election in 2024. The NDC will be seeking to unseat the ruling New Patriotic Party, which has been in power since 2017. Mahama’s popularity, coupled with his experience, positions him as a strong candidate for the presidential seat.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the NDC presidential primaries held today saw the triumph of John Dramani Mahama, who will now represent the party in the 2024 presidential elections. His victory reflects the faith party members have in him and underlines his potential to lead the country once again. All eyes will now be on Mahama and the NDC as they prepare to face off against the ruling party in the upcoming elections.
