Mahama calls for calm, condemns attacks on public property after Election 2024

President-elect John Dramani Mahama has called for calm and restraint in a national address, following reports of violence and lawlessness in some parts of the country.

In a live broadcast Tuesday night (10 December), Mahama condemned reports of attacks on public offices and installations and urged citizens to remain calm and avoid actions that could harm Ghana’s institutions and democracy.

“Transitions from one administration to another create the impression of a vacuum power and certain people act in their own parochial interest instead of the national interest,” Mahama said.

He reiterated his call for the youth not to vent their frustrations in criminal enterprise but instead to channel their anger and frustration into positive efforts to rebuild the nation.

“I urge the youth not to vent their frustrations in criminal enterprise. Instead, they must channel their anger and frustration into the positive enterprise of resetting and rebuilding our beloved nation,” he said.

The president-elect also called on the current administration and security agencies to take immediate action to curb the ongoing acts of lawlessness.

“Because state power is still in the hands of the present administration, I call on the President and security agencies to act decisively to curb the ongoing acts of lawlessness immediately,” Mahama said.

Mahama’s address comes after his historic re-election victory in the 2024 presidential election.

He has pledged to work towards a Ghana that works for everybody, not just a few, and to restore trust between the government and the people.
