President John Mahama says on the back of his good works, he derserves an overwhelming re-election victory when polls open December 7.
The governing National Democratic Congress candidate, John Mahama, who pulled 50.63% in 2012 presidential elections appealed to Ghanaians to improve this margin and give him 60 percent of the votes.
‘I don’t want 50.7%. I want 59%, 58%, 60%” he said at a rally at Sewfi Wiaso in the Western region Monday.
He explained that a comprehensive victory will discourage the opposition from challenging the results in court as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) did in 2012.
Discussing president Mahama’s search for a massive endorsement, political analyst Joe Jackson told Joy News Monday, “if he won by 60% then it is landslide. I doubt that the election will be that wide in the margins. It will be a lot more closer than that”.
