Akua Donkor, the presidential candidate of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), has issued a warning to former President John Dramani Mahama, threatening legal action if he continues to make what she considers “derogatory” comments about her qualifications for the 2024 presidential election.
Donkor expressed her discontent at an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting in Accra on Tuesday, alleging that Mahama repeatedly makes disparaging remarks concerning her candidacy. She emphasized that she founded the GFP in 2011 and registered it in 2012, highlighting her commitment to her party and its independence.
Donkor expressed her frustration, stating that she has followed the Electoral Commission’s instructions and qualified to contest the election, therefore deserving a place on the ballot. She asserted that Mahama’s continued comments are unfair and disrespectful.
This confrontation highlights the growing tensions within Ghana’s political landscape as candidates and parties prepare for the upcoming election. The exchange underscores the need for respectful discourse and a focus on policy issues rather than personal attacks in the lead-up to the election.
Donkor’s threat of legal action against Mahama further escalates the situation, signaling a potential for increased political friction and potentially legal challenges in the coming weeks.
The incident also raises broader questions about the role of women in politics and the challenges they face in navigating a sometimes hostile and discriminatory political environment. Donkor’s statement highlights the need for political discourse that is respectful, inclusive, and focused on building a more just and equitable society.
