John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed his excitement and enthusiasm following the party’s placement in the eighth position on the 2024 presidential election ballot.
This development comes after the Electoral Commission’s (EC) balloting exercise held on September 20, 2023, which determined the order of candidates on the ballot.
Taking to Facebook, Mahama shared his positive outlook on the number eight, describing it as a symbol of hope and change for the NDC as the nation heads to the polls on December 7, 2024. “I am excited that we picked No. 8 on the ballot for the upcoming presidential elections.
Let’s make this a number of hope and change on December 7,” Mahama wrote, encouraging supporters to embrace the significance of the position.
Mahama’s optimism is contagious, and his message has resonated with party supporters and sympathizers.
The NDC’s eighth position on the ballot is seen as a strategic advantage, and many believe it will bring good fortune to the party.
Alban Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament and a stalwart of the NDC, also chimed in with his endorsement of the number. Bagbin took to social media, stating, “8 is excellent.
Don’t break it. Choose it!” His comment appeared to signal strong support for the party and its positioning ahead of the elections.
Bagbin’s endorsement carries significant weight, given his impressive political pedigree. As the Speaker of the 8th Parliament of the Fourth Republic, he has played a crucial role in shaping Ghana’s legislative agenda.
His experience as Majority Leader in Parliament and Minister for Health in the Ghanaian government has equipped him with a deep understanding of the country’s political landscape.
The NDC’s eighth position on the ballot has sparked excitement among party faithful, with many interpreting it as a sign of good things to come.
In many cultures, the number eight is considered auspicious, symbolizing abundance, prosperity, and new beginnings.
As the campaign season heats up, Mahama and the NDC will leverage this positive momentum to connect with voters and articulate their vision for Ghana’s future.
With the December 7 polls looming, the NDC’s eighth position on the ballot has become a rallying cry for supporters, inspiring hope and optimism for a better tomorrow.
The Electoral Commission’s balloting exercise has set the stage for an intense electoral contest, and the NDC is poised to capitalize on its strategic positioning.
As Mahama and his team hit the campaign trail, they will seek to convert this enthusiasm into votes, ultimately determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
