Speaking on Nhyira FM, he said the president thinks falling short would mean coup d'état in Ghana.
This is on the back of the public reception to Burkina Faso’s Junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré's visit to Ghana during his inauguration.
“Ghanaians are looking for leadership, not democracy,” was one of their conclusions, according to Domelevo, who said this conversation was had in private.
Domelevo also said former presidents could pay for their failed governance with their lives, according to Mahama.
"He told me if he fails, Ghana, it won't be long till we get a coup. He told me from his own mouth.”
"The thing he said that amazed me is that when that coup happens, they will execute all the presidents by firing squad, one by one.”
"I believe he knows if he fails Ghana, what will happen to the country will not be good."
Mahama elected president
Mahama was elected president of Ghana after winning 56.55% of the provisional vote in the 2024 election.
The Electoral Commission declared the National Democratic Congress candidate the winner after his 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55% of the votes cast. These results were from 267 of Ghana's constituencies.
Former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, his main contender, got 4,657,304 votes, representing 41.61% of the votes cast and conceded the election within 24 hours.
Mahama becomes Ghana's first former president to come back as head of state.
Mahama's vow to rescue Ghana
During his victory acceptance speech after the election, Mahama urged Ghanaians to prepare for a difficult recovery.
He stressed that the task ahead to restore the economy was daunting and needed a collective effort of Ghanaians.
According to Mahama, who served as President before, Ghana was currently in an abyss created by Akufo-Addo's governance.
He stated that the task ahead, particularly in relation to restoring the economy, among others, was daunting and needed the collective effort of Ghanaians to pull the country out of the 'abyss' created by the outgoing government.
