Former President and 2024 presidential candidate for the largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has cautioned against the deployment of the military in the upcoming December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Addressing thousands of Christians and members of other religious denominations on Sunday, November 3, 2024, during the launch of the National Peace Campaign, the former president underscored the need to safeguard the peace of the nation.
He said part of the steps to safeguarding the peace of the nation includes avoiding the deployment of military personnel to voting centers during the December 7 elections.
John Mahama, however, maintains that there is a need to ensure strict and fair enforcement of the law against anyone who attempts to incite violence or disrupt the peaceful electoral process.
