In rich Ghanaian history as we have come to know and stands, his excellency Nana Akufo-Addo (NPP) and former president John Dramani Mahama (NDC) are key names that hold recognition across the country and the world at large.

The unrest before during and after elections is needless as it generates fear which may be positive or negative as far as the elections is concerned.

Sometimes when you “make a statement and you need to struggle to explain further after to make understanding certain then you didn’t picture your audience well before communicating “as said by Ekourba Gyasi Simpremu on Ghana Nie ( a morning show on Atinka TV)

He continued further that there were several debates over the whole “all die be die” years ago and now the latest one been DO OR DIE comment by John Mahama.



How people see the truth makes the difference and thus speak for people to comprehend and not to struggle in communicating (How people will perceive /understand a piece of information is more important to ensure clarity) were key discussion points with his panel on the show.

Mahama said in an earlier statement that “at the polling station. "it will be do or die". Clarifying that he was not referring to "all die be die", he restated that it will be "do or die. The right thing must be done."

Samuel Nana Appiah Owusu (member of the NPP communications team)- feels that if at any point in time that the party representative of the national democratic party (NDC)  and former president of Ghana- John Mahama issues a statement, his team  should  analyse and draw attention during and after any communiqué served out by him.”ïf anytime you give out a piece of information and take time to always come back to rectify or explain what you said then you didn’t communicate well” he added

Mr Stephen Atubiga ( founder of the National Liberation Congress) made an alleged  statement that that “Mahatma’s statement its nothing to take serious but we should however strategise on ensuring a smooth run at the polls in the year 2024 but personally feels it’s just a political talk ”




Hon. Mohammed Bawah Braimah – the MP for Ejura Sekyeredumase – NDC explains on the show that the statement do or die is more or less like an idiomatic expression not implying otherwise as people may say.

He stressed they are not going to court on anything and that they only implied on Mahatma’s statement  that would only use all legitimate means at the polls come 2024.

Ghanaians in general are peaceful people and deserve the best of it at the highest degree. There should not be any rise in fear or panic to mar this trait and thus whatever any political or non-political individuals may have should not prevent patrons from exercising their franchise come elections 2024.
