The Conference of Regional Chief Imams of Ghana has extended its congratulations to President-elect John Dramani Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for their victory in the 2024 elections and a decisive majority in Parliament. In a statement signed by Alhaji Suallah Abdallah Quandah, the Secretary of the Conference, and issued in Sunyani, the Imams expressed optimism about Mr. Mahama's leadership capabilities. They acknowledged his deep understanding of the nation’s challenges and trust that he and the NDC will work diligently to address the needs of Ghanaians while striving to build a better Ghana. The statement also praised Mr. Mahama's qualities as a unifier, a consultative and humble leader, and encouraged him to maintain decisiveness in making difficult but necessary decisions for the nation's progress.
The Imams further called on the NDC to approach their victory with magnanimity, using their influence in Parliament to promote unity and reduce the growing partisanship that has marked recent elections. They emphasized that political differences should not lead to divisions or hostility, urging all political actors to prioritize the common good over individual or party interests. The Conference reminded the NDC and all Ghanaians that Parliament represents the entire nation, not just specific groups or political affiliations. Reflecting on the peaceful electoral process, the Imams noted that Ghanaians have collectively achieved a significant milestone by electing both a President and Legislature in a manner that warrants gratitude to the Almighty Allah.
Concluding their message, the Imams reiterated their commitment to praying for the nation, its leaders, and its citizens. They emphasized the importance of fostering liberty, equality of opportunity, and prosperity for all Ghanaians. The statement also encouraged responsible political discourse, urging citizens to contribute positively to national development. Highlighting their spiritual role, the Imams assured the nation of their continuous prayers for peace, growth, and inclusivity. As the NDC prepares to govern, the Imams' call serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility of leaders and citizens to work collaboratively towards a united and prosperous Ghana.
