Following the recent presidential and parliamentary elections, Ghana's President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, has underlined the necessity of working with minority political parties as part of his overall strategy to promote national unity and prosperity. In a recent discussion with representatives from these minority groups, Mahama emphasized his commitment to developing connections that would allow all stakeholders to contribute to molding the nation's destiny.

"My door is always open, and the minority parties will be invited to bring your contributions as we embark on a journey to reset Ghana," Mahama stated. He reiterated that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) firmly believes in stakeholder consultation, seeing it as a crucial part of the country's path towards progress. His call for collaboration is seen as a direct appeal to unite political factions and address the nation’s challenges in a spirit of cooperation.

Mahama also recognized the importance of achieving consensus within his party, particularly following the NDC's return to the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC). "The consensus NDC built after returning to IPAC paid off," Mahama said, expressing gratitude to the party's leadership for their efforts to foster collaboration. This demonstrates his belief in discussion, especially with parties who do not share his political values, in order to achieve the shared aim of national progress.

Reflecting on the recently finished elections, Mahama admitted that, while not perfect, the process was generally calm. However, he expressed reservations about some technical issues of the election, particularly the issue of duplicate.
