Rawlings congratulates President-elect John Dramani Mahama






Ghana’s former President, Flt Lt Rawlings has congratulated the President-elect John Dramani Mahama for his victory in the December polls.

He also commended Ghanaians for comporting themselves and ensuring a peaceful election this year.

Below the full text of the congratulatory message:

Following the successful conclusion of the 2012 Presidential and Parliamentary elections I extend warm and sincere congratulations to President-Elect John Dramani Mahama.

I call on President-Elect John Mahama to endeavour to restore and defend the NDC’s ideals of unity, stability, development, probity and accountability at all times, as he fulfils the mandate entrusted upon him by an expectant electorate.

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.

Once again I commend 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.
