The 2020 presidential Candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. John Dramani Mahama has said the Party will always remain the party of the people despite losing the 2020 Election Petition in the Supreme Court.
He said the party was established to empower the people of Ghana to be architects of their destiny and they blazed the trail for participatory democracy and he was confident that out of the ashes of this legal setback, they will mobilize and rekindle the struggle for a better democratic Ghana.
Mr. John Mahama said this when he addressed Party Leaders and supporters after the verdict of the 2020 Election Petition in the Supreme Court.
According to Mr. Mahama, the NDC will survive and grow from strength to strength, adding, “The sun may have set on our hopes for the just-ended election today, but it will rise tomorrow and illuminate our path to a better outcome next time around.”
To the Council of Elders, members of the National Executive Committee of the NDC, the Functional Executive Committee, the Election 2020 Campaign team, my Staff, party executives at all levels, volunteers, polling agents, and all who played roles in our campaign, no matter how small, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
”We will be law-abiding and do nothing to compromise the stability of the country. We will however continue to be the voice of the voiceless and will not be distracted demanding justice and fairness at all times. Neither will we surrender or fail to champion the rights of all our people to enjoy the fundamental freedoms guaranteed under our constitution.”
”To the over six million Ghanaians who entrusted me with their votes, I cannot thank you enough for this honor. I value your votes so much. It reflects the confidence you have in the ideology, the ethos, and importantly the 2020 Peoples’ Manifesto of the NDC. We have proven to be the most viable path to rapid socio-economic development. I can assure you that even though this was not the outcome we expected, I am sure your votes will spur us on to victory in future elections.”
”I also wish to acknowledge and commend the courage and commitment of Civil Society Organisations, journalists, and individuals who have dedicated their lives to speak truth to power irrespective of which party sits at the Flagstaff House. Whiles in office, my administration tolerated your views.
