Dec. 7 polls: Mahama celebrates NDC becoming majority in parliament as ‘historic’ and 'God's sign' of victory

John Dramani Mahama has reacted to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) becoming the new majority in parliament.
"Something historic has just happened," the former president and NDC flagbearer said when the news reached him, Thursday, October 17, 2024.
"The report I am hearing is that the speaker has declared four seats vacant. Of the four seats, three are from the NPP, and one from the NDC. So if those seats have been declared vacant, then it means in the life of one parliament, the minority has turned into the majority and the majority into the minority," he remarked.
The crowd at the Kpone Katamanso Constituency rally cheered.
"For me, God is even showing a sign of what is going to happen," he forecast, regarding the upcoming December 7 general elections.
The NDC leader declared: "Even before we have cast one single ballot, the NDC has become the majority."
Currently, the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has 135 seats in parliament, with the NDC becoming the new majority holding 136 seats.
