Former National Organiser for the main opposition National Democratic Congress has said it is too early for a section of the party to start calling on former president John Mahama to contest the 2020 elections as the party’s candidate.
According to Yaw Boateng Gyan, the NDC as a political must be focusing on identifying factors that led to the party’s electoral defeat instead of engaging in acts that are likely to further destroy fortunes of the NDC.
Boateng Gyan was speaking to host of Abusua Nkommo, Kwame Adinkrah in response to calls on John Mahama to contest the next elections on the ticket of the NDC.
There have been calls on the party to sponsor Mahama as its next candidate for the 2020 elections by leading members of the NDC including former ministers.
Former Minister for Sports, Nii Lantey Vanderpuije has said the former president will contest the next elections against all odds.
Former Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Joseph Yammin also reaffirmed speculations that former president John Dramani Mahama could stage a come back for the presidency in the 2020 general elections.
According to Yamin, the party’s delegates are itching to give John Mahama a resounding endorsement to lead the party again in the next elections.
The former NDC National Organiser said, “Kwame, I think it’s too early for us to start urging Mahama to contest the next elections when we have not finished identifying issues that made us lose the elections.”
“Why are people calling on Mahama to contest when there is a committee in place to gather information on why we lost the elections…I think this will further divide our party than we can imagine,” he observed.
“We should not be making preferences…I am sure there are others who would want to the for the NDC in 2020…So we as a party must be working improving our political fortunes while we leave the contest open for anyone that wants to contest,” he added.

these ple are only interest on how to win elections but not how to run the nation. only 3 months after losing an election are they are restless. they just want power to execute their evil plans. if they really want to know why they lost the elections and if they can swear that all the elections they won in the past was not through rigging then they should be consulting the millions of ple who voted against them. bcos as far as i know you can not win election relying on ur supporters alone. they shd go on a nation wide tour and speak to the ple and not only ndc ple. as for their supporters who did not vote for them they did so bcos they did not receive the stolen monies they were promised. so why go speak to them again when u shd no very well why ur own ple did not vote for you. if they really have the nation at heart then they have to do a better job by consulting the general population. the only reason i believed Nana Addo and NPP will do great is due to the numerous tours the had throughout the country. From Nana himself, to Bawumia and their WIVES it was just amazing. they went to every nook and cranny of the country and listened to the ple, know their problems and took note of the possible solutions proffered by the ple. This is why I believe Nana's govt will be the best govt this country has ever had. All they need to do is to put God first and remain focus. by so doing ndc will remain in opposition forever. they took the who population as ***barred word*** and u can see that from their actions. they only care abt their die hard supporters who did not help them to rig the election. they will continue to remain in opposition as long as they ignore the voters and concentrate only on the riggers bcos voters will always vote but riggers can not always rig. in fact there is no more room for rigging anymore. we dont win elections using technology
So now you have seen the need to leave the presidential contest open eh? Good for you guys
who cares? Divide the corrupt and ev!l NDC party and make it history.... This party is not fit to rule this country again.
