Mahama asserted that the election on December 7 is primarily a contest between himself and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Flagbearer, current Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, indicating that the President should not engage in campaigning.
During a meeting with religious leaders in the Ashanti Region on November 27, 2024, President Akufo-Addo addressed Mahama’s remarks.
He emphasized that it would be irresponsible for anyone to withdraw from the electoral process, as the decisions made during this election will be critical for the future of Ghana.
“The former President says that this contest is between him and Dr. Bawumia, so I should keep out of it. I don’t understand whether it means I am no longer a citizen of Ghana or what. The most consequential decision which this generation of Ghanaians are going to make is the one on December 7. That is the most consequential decision; it concerns all of us.
“In fact, in my view, it will be irresponsible for anybody to keep quiet about who their preference is. We all have to decide which way Ghana should go. I am not going to keep quiet today, and I am not going to keep quiet tomorrow. I will speak my mind on this matter,” President Akufo-Addo asserted.
