However, there are several reasons why Akufo-Addo and the NPP must take Mahama's 2020 ambition seriously. NPP supporters will, however, be encouraged by prevailing precedent that the NPP and NDC each govern for two terms or eight straight years whenever they win power. As president, Akufo-Addo will indisputably have the stronger financial backbone going into the 2020 elections. Many Mahama supporters failed to turn out, however, because they were depressed by the negative stories about their candidate. It is incontrovertibly within this context that Mahama's 2020 bid must be taken seriously.
