Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings has extended his "warm and sincere congratulations" to President John Dramani Mahama following his election as president in last Friday's polls. He also urged the opposition New Patriotic party (NPP) to respect the atmosphere of peace that characterised the vote.
In a statement released by his Office yesterday, the Ex-President urged President Mahama "to endeavour to restore and defend the NDC’s ideals of unity, stability, development, probity and accountability at all times, as he fulfills the mandate entrusted upon him by an expectant electorate."
He said: "I urge the leading opposition party to respect the atmosphere of peace, which characterised the elections. If there are grievances over the results of the elections they should follow the appropriate channels and desist from creating an atmosphere that can potentially hurt the peace and stability in the country."
Former President Rawlings commended all Ghanaians for ensuring that the electoral process was held in an atmosphere of serenity despite the challenges posed by the introduction of the voter verification equipment.
