If the disqualified candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom is allowed to contest in the presidential election, he will beat President John Dramani Mahama, Director of Elections for the NPP, Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah has asserted.
He made the remarks in an interview with Kwame Tutu on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm.
Mr Korsah indicated that the candidate for the PPP is being accepted by the electorates better than President Mahama.
He posited that, the incumbent president has lost touch with the people of Ghana because he has failed woefully, has no message for the people and only marking time.
‘’If Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom is allowed to contest the presidential election, he will beat President Mahama. Have you seen anyone hooting at Papa Kwesi Nduom on his campaign trail? Have you not seen how the Vice President and other Ministers of State were rejected and hooted at by electorates on their campaign trail? Have also not seen how Ghanaians shouted we want change when he [President Mahama] toured the Greater Accra region? These are stories we all aware of. I want to stress that if Dr. Nduom Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings are reinstated, they will beat the president in the presidential election.’’
Dr. Nduom was disqualified together with 12 other presidential aspirants following what the EC said were mistake(s) found on his presidential nomination form.
He is currently challenging his disqualification. The PPP in a suit filed on behalf of its flag-bearer on Friday, October 14, 2016 is seeking “an order of prohibition to restrain the EC from proceeding with balloting for positions of presidential candidates for the 7th December elections.
The plaintiff is also seeking “…a further order directed against the 1st Respondent in her capacity as Returning Officer for presidential elections to grant the Applicant the opportunity to amend and alter the one anomaly found in his nomination papers as well as accept his nomination papers as amended or altered to enable him contest as a Presidential Candidate for the 7th December, 2016 elections.”
“And for such order or further as to this Honourable Court may deem fit.”
An Accra Court presided over by Justice Eric Kyei Baffour will on Tuesday October 25, 2016 set a date for ruling after lawyers for the EC and PPP file their statement of case today [Monday].

Nduom will beat Mahama! Really? And who else; nanakonadu? Like seriously?.based on what analysis? What then will happen to npp? You are pathetic!
Look at his ***barred word*** face? even if election is held in paa kewsi nduom;s office, he will loose to Mahama. That your big head has nothing inside.
"Insulters" can't think far.
Hahahahah I laugh enter restaurant. Say this to the marines. A whole director of elections of NPP. so this big head cannot produce anything useful for Nana Addo. No wonder defeat is stirring at you like kakai!!
This shows how you in the ndc are fo*ls where did you see Akufo Addo struggling even in ndc so called string holds look the how the people have accepted him,who wants a visionless,clueless president? Nana Addo is the man of the moment,he has the vision for the youth of our country,he is not corrupt, he is not a thi*f he is not going to stash Ghana's money into his pockets or friends and cronies because they are all well to do. His children are grown ups doing good in their lives so who doesn't need such a man to be his president? The youth of the country trust and believe in him. John mahama is toast,ndc has expired and John mahama can't stand Papa Kwesi Nduom or Nana Konadu both of them will beat John mahama both of them have wisdom and vision to lead a nation which John mahama lacks. The so called Oldman is far ahead of john mahama if not why is he complaining about media cabal,why is he blaming his people of not selling him?if he's done something good for the people and he will win why is he crying now? The people are suffering and you talking of development in a green book,hahahahaha! The youth who are the future of this nation has been neglected and are losing hope and you telling me John mahama will beat Nana who is giving the youth hope. Mo'agyimi dodo so can't you see the wind of change and don't you feel it? BYE,BYE NDC.
Even your Akufo Addo is strugling to beat Mahama. Your head has nothing inside it
A big block headed thinking. Your thoughts are tooo abysmal and no wise man born of a woman can ever say this sh*t
