Mr. Bonsu debunked reports that he would eventually step down at the last minute and throw his weight behind ex-President Mahama. Mohammed Alhassan also denied reports that the various aspirants in the NDC’s presidential race, including Kojo Bonsu, might withdraw from the race to allow Mr. Mahama to go unopposed. Kojo Bonsu was a close ally of ex-President Mahama, who appointed him (Kojo Bonsu) as the Chief Executive of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) under the previous NDC administration. Kojo Bonsu and another NDC guru, Joshua Akamba, initiated the NDC’s Unity Walks to help project Mr. Mahama after the NDC lost the 2016 general elections. Some of the party’s members have accused him (Kojo Bonsu) of stabbing Mr. Mahama in the back, but others have also praised him for boldly championing his personal interest.
