Former President John Dramani Mahama has issued a statement urging Ghanaians to exercise caution in the face of potential attempts by political opponents to sway their voting decisions through monetary gifts and material offerings. Speaking to the Chiefs and people of Frankadua in the Asuogyaman Constituency, Mr. Mahama emphasized the need for voters to remain steadfast in their commitment to vote according to the current state of the economy, rather than being influenced by external inducements.
Highlighting the recent incident in Assin North, where delegates accepted money but ultimately voted independently, Mr. Mahama underscored the importance of maintaining independent decision-making in the electoral process. He called upon the people of Frankadua to follow this example and resist succumbing to external pressures.
In acknowledging the potential for monetary gifts and material offerings to be presented as a means of influencing voter behavior, Mr. Mahama urged individuals to accept such items without reservation, emphasizing that they rightfully belong to the recipients. He cautioned against heeding false claims that accepting these offerings would result in spiritual harm if one does not vote in a particular manner.
Mr. Mahama called upon Ghanaians to approach the upcoming elections with a sense of responsibility and independence, resisting any attempts to compromise their freedom of choice. By remaining steadfast in their commitment to vote genuinely and conscientiously, voters can uphold the integrity of the electoral process and contribute to a fair and transparent democratic outcome.
