The Mahama 2024 Campaign has cautioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP), not to raise the political temperature in the country by destroying the billboards of its flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, or the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidates.
According to the campaign team, the Chief Executive of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has led some NPP supporters to take down a billboard of Mr Mahama, which was installed by Alliance Media in Tema.
In a statement released on Friday, July 19, the Mahama 2024 Campaign stated, “This act is unacceptable and constitutes a needless provocative attempt to raise the political temperature in the country.”
“While we expect Alliance Media to take legal action against the TMA for this act, we want to warn the TMA boss and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that such needless acts, which lead to deliberate political clashes and violence, are detrimental to the growth of our democracy,” the statement read.
The Mahama Campaign team also highlighted a similar incident in the Ablekuma North constituency, where a billboard for the NDC parliamentary candidate was blocked by the NPP.

“Despite the NPP’s unwarranted provocation in various parts of the country, we note that institutions like the National Peace Council and religious and civil society organisations are watching.”
The campaign team cautioned that such actions would no longer be tolerated and warned that they might be forced to instruct their members to take necessary measures to prevent such acts across the country.
They urged the NPP to campaign peacefully and respect the rights of others to advertise their political candidates and messages, emphasizing that violence and destruction of property have no place in political discourse.
