On this auspicious occasion, as leader of the National Democratic Congress, I wish to reiterate my commitment to continue the various processes towards implementing the white paper, if elected President in December 2024, focusing on strengthening governance institutions, protecting citizens\u2019 rights, and fighting corruption.<\/p>\n<p>The reforms will aim to reduce the influence of an overreaching executive, put an end to the creeping politicization of state institutions, reduce excessive spending on Article 71 officeholders to bridge the unacceptable disparity between them and other categories of workers and strengthen the fundamental rights of all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow countrymen and women, we should, together, uphold our collective responsibility to sustain our democracy, and I call on all duty-bearers to comply with constitutional principles. I urge the current government to refrain from actions that continue to undermine democratic rights under their administration.<\/p>\n<p>The use of thugs and rogue elements within the security agencies to disrupt elections in some parts of the country as occurred in the 2020 elections, leading to the loss of eight (8) lives, will forever be remembered as Ghana\u2019s day of infamy and an indelible blemish on our democratic credentials established over the last 32 years of constitutional rule.<\/p>\n<p>On a rather sad note, it is unconscionable that three years after these tragic events, our<\/p>\n<p>President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has not uttered even a word of sympathy to the bereaved families.<\/p>\n<p>The perpetrators of these murders continue to walk as free men and still hold on to positions of authority and power. This government must appreciate that they have an obligation to guarantee peaceful elections this year, and the loss of even one Ghanaian life will not be countenanced.<\/p>\n<p>I urge all Ghanaians to exercise eternal vigilance as we prepare for elections later this year to ensure that no abuses of the system ensue and that only the choice of the people, exercised freely, prevails.<\/p>\n<p>I extend a hearty congratulation to all Ghanaians on this august occasion. May the coming years see our democracy flourish even further, and may Ghana rise again to become the beacon of success envisioned by our forebears<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana\u2019s former President John Dranmani Mahama has extolled the country 1992 Constitution as the best and having served the nation
