Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has congratulated President-Elect, John Dramani Mahama, for winning the 2024 presidential election.

In a statement copied to GhanaWeb, the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General indicated that the victory is a sign that good would always triumph over evil.

He claimed that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo did all he could to force his vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Ghanaians, but the people of Ghana stood tall.

“President-elect of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, I send you my good wishes on this occasion of your well-deserved and landslide victory despite the incumbent machinations of the Vice-President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, with the support of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the just ended Presidential election on December 7, 2024. Nature’s justice has prevailed over self-centred human desires and intentions.

“The determination of President Nana Akufo-Addo to use all the means of state power at his disposal to deny you any chance of a free, fair and transparent election that would allow the electorate to voluntarily choose their next President was self-evident in rhetoric, action and deed even to the last hour of the vote,” Amidu wrote.

He added, “The wise decision of the Ghanaian electorate in electing you with a massive vote in the first round of voting as our President was a demonstration of their determination to disabuse the minds of the political elite, deep state apparatus, the incumbent government and its presidential candidate of the presumption that the ordinary Ghanaian is a zombified yokel without common sense to make impassioned decisions based on his national self-interest in the face of incumbency incentives dangled before him just before elections.”

Amidu also urged Mahama to audit the books of the country and hold the Akufo-Addo government accountable.
