Mahama, a member of the Assemblies of God Church, assured the gathering that he is a person of peace and will do everything to ensure Ghana remains peaceful during the elections.
He acknowledged the apprehension that often accompanies elections, but pledged to work towards a violence-free electoral process. Mahama stressed that political power should not come at the cost of human life or well-being, emphasizing that even a single drop of Ghanaian blood is not worth it.
He received applause from the audience for his commitment to peace, which resonated with the church’s values. The NDC flagbearer’s remarks come at a time when political tensions are rising ahead of the 2024 elections.
