“Before the election is held, I am going to come here and pay my proper goodbye to you and thank you for the cooperation that I received from you when I was president. God willing, when I come, I will come with the man who is going to be my successor.

He further urged support to maintain Ghana's reputation as a democratic country.
“I want us to work together to make sure that the peace and stability of our country is maintained all through the electioneering period and after.”
Mahama favoured to win 2024 elections
Most polls have Mahama winning the 2024 elections.
Two UK research firms, for example, have predicted election victory for Mahama in 2024.
These predictions favouring Mahama came from the Economist Intelligence Unit and Fitch Solutions.
The Economist Intelligence Unit said declining living standards, limited job opportunities, and poor public services will drive Mahama's victory.
Fitch Solutions said former President Mahama is expected to win the swing regions by nearly 48%.
An Outcomes International poll has Bawumia favoured to win a number of select constituencies.
