2024 elections: The church must be vigilant to ensure the right things are done – Mahama

Former President John Dramani Mahama has told churches to pay attention to happenings in the political space ahead of the 2024 general elections to ensure that the right things are done by all stakeholders.

Mr Mahama stated that the NDC as an opposition party will do its part in raising the red flags but the church must also play its role.

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said these during an interaction with the Christian Ecumenical Council on Monday, May 20.

“This is a president who is appointing politically exposed people into positions of trust where they are supposed to be neutral and non-partisan and so people who have been communicators for the party, people who have been IT backstops for the party, today are Commissioners of the Electoral Commission. How do you expect them to be neutral and fair in what is happening?

“People who were patrons of TESCON on campus are today Commissioners of the Electoral Commission. But we want to wake up the conscience of the nation that the right thing must be done so that the outcome can actually be the will of the people.

“So going up to the election, We will continue to play our part. We will raise the red flags anytime we think things are not going very well. And we believe that the church community should also keep an eye and be vigilant in terms of making sure that the right thing is done.”
