The presidential candidates of Ghana' s two leading political parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), participated in a significant moment ahead of the 2024 general elections. John Dramani Mahama, representing the NDC, and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP' s candidate, were both present at the signing of the Peace Pact, a crucial step toward ensuring a peaceful electoral process. 
 
In a striking display of unity, the two leaders were seen entering the event venue together. A video circulating online captured a moment of camaraderie, with former President Mahama graciously pointing out the way to the venue for Vice President Dr. Bawumia, who reciprocated with a warm gesture, briefly touching Mahama' s arm in acknowledgment. 
Another clip from the event showcased Mahama engaging with other presidential candidates, exchanging pleasantries and underscoring the collaborative spirit of the occasion. 
The Peace Pact signing ceremony, held on Thursday, November 28, 2024, is being organized by the National Peace Council in partnership with the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG). It brings together all political parties and their presidential candidates contesting in the December 7 elections to commit to a peaceful electoral process. 
 
By signing the agreement, candidates pledge to maintain peace before, during, and after the polls, reflecting a collective commitment to uphold Ghana' s democratic principles and avoid violence or unrest during the highly anticipated election season. 
In a fiery delivery at Nungua, in the Krowor Constituency of the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia laughed off claims by former President Mahama on his Facebook page that the current NPP government is a failed government. 
Responding, Dr. Bawumia taunted former President Mahama for not understanding economic data, because if he did, he wouldn' t be comparing his " failed government" with the NPP' s, when every available economic data shows that the NPP has a superior record. 
" He said he has performed better than us and I said if you believe you performed better, come for a debate. But he has run away, " Dr. Bawumia said. 
" I hear he has written on his Facebook that NPP is a failed government. Then I said maybe he doesn' t understand the economy. He either does not read the data or he does not understand the data. He doesn' t understand, " Dr. Bawumia said, as he launched a fiery counter- response on all economic indicators. 
 
" I want him and those around him to listen to me this evening so I explain the data to them so that they will get an understanding. Let me tell him that when it comes to the economy, the overall GDP during your government, is lower than ours. We have performed better than you, " added the Vice President.
