We don\u2019t need tutorials on the security of what to do and what not to do in the 2020 elections from Mahama\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The former President in his message also said \u201cThe year 2020 is an election year, and the eyes of the world would continue to be fixed on us, as we go to the polls. We need to meet the high standards set by previous Electoral Commissions and even better it. I do not say it lightly when I say that the 2020 election will be a pivotal event for our country. It is one that will determine the destiny of our nation.
