Former President John Dramani Mahama and Alban BagbinThere appears to be a consensus among the leadership of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that former President John Dramani Mahama will lead the NDC into another electoral debacle if he is elected as the party’s flagbearer for 2020. So far about six aspirants have declared their intention to contest John Mahama, who is tipped to carry the day but has not declared yet. The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament and MP for Nadowli Kaleo in the Upper West Region is the latest to turn the heat on John Mahama. Mr Bagbin, who toured the Volta Region over the weekend, asked the delegates not to endorse the former President but rather select him (Bagbin) to lead the NDC in 2020. He said most of the Mahama boys are proud owners of Toyota Land Cruiser V8 and mansions, while the large majority of the party supporters are wallowing in poverty.
