Voters in the Central Region would boycott the National Democratic Congress (NDC) if the party fails to make former Vice President, Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur the ‘automatic’ flagbearer of the party for the 2020 elections.
Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako said he would lead the boycott in the Central region to boycott the NDC party.
“If John (Mahama) fails to run for the flagbearer slot, then Amissah-Arthur should be made the automatic candidate…if not those of us from the Central Region would be very angry…I will mobilise all the Central Region and write articles,” he said jokingly.
According to him, the Fantes would demonstrate because they would also want Amissah-Arthur to succeed his boss, former President John Mahama.
This argument, he said is in line with the NDC argument in the run up to the 2016 elections that the NPP hated persons of northern extraction in their party hence their refusal to appoint late Vice President Aliu Mahama as the automatic successor to former President John Agyekum Kufour.
Communicators of the NDC also argued that the NPP only treated Northerners as second class citizens in the party and hence used them and dumped them.
It is for this reason, the party communicators added, that the party always chose northerners as deputies instead of using them as the main candidates.
Same argument, Kweku Baako speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Wednesday said would apply to Fantes if the NDC fails to appoint the former Bank of Ghana Governor as their flagbearer for the 2020 elections.
Fantes, he said would also consider that the NDC also treat them as second class citizens hence consider them as unworthy to lead the party.

Kweku Bako has lost his sense and conscience. There was a Fante president in the NDC and two Fante Veeps. If we want another Fante president, it won't necessarily be Amissah Arthur. We have Hanna Tetteh and Spio. Shut your mouth up Mr big mouth NPP serial journalist. You can't lead Fantes to boycott NDC because they are already regretting voting for your npp
Good point there. We all need to be careful whenever we are given the chance to speak. NDC communicators must learn.
TRIBALISM IS TOO COSTLY AND BACKWARD. GHANA HAS SUFFERED TOO MUCH AND PAID DEARLY FOR CAMPAIGN OF TRIBALISM BY NDC WHICH BROUGHT MAHAMA INTO POWER. WE CANNOT AFFORD AGAIN TO VOTE FOR INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT BY VOTING ACCORDING TO TRIBALISTIC CONSIDERATIONS. PLEASE WE MUST STOP TRIBALISM AND LOOKS FOR COMPETENCE AND EFFICIENCY. TODAY EVERYBODY CAN BREATH A SIGN OF RELIEF AND CHANGE EVEN THOUGH AKKUFO ADDO GOVERNMENT IS YET TO PICK UP.
Mr Baaku did your NPP make Alhaji Alui Mahama an automatic flag bearer in the 2008 elections? Pls try to be consistent as I have always known you.
Looking for an avenue to continue to condemn the NDC even though they are no more in power. Is it the fact that you would dare not say anything bad about the NPP government, having sang vainglory and licked their boots thus far? I am sorry Mr. Kweku Baako, but you have to come again or at best leave the NDC alone.
But a fante was once a president, I.e President Miles. So this time we sholud get some one from Northern, Eastern,Western or Bring Ahafo.etc.
Baako pls stop this cchildish nnonsense , fantes are naturally skin pain people towards their own kind. They would vote for even non fante stone to become president except their own
yes Amissah Arthur is the man to lead them if they want to do what they preach. but as evil as they are i know they wont even ask him if he is interest or not. i dont even know why mahama will even want to come back. well i guess for more insults and that will be given to him for free. we are ready for him. 2020 will be interesting if mahama comes back.
Eiii. Mr kweku Baako thus good point. It will be very very strange if NDC refuse to restore Mr amissah Arthur as their next presidential candidate. When they refused to bring amissah. Otherwise we all nfantes also go join our elephant Family including our own senior Brother Allotey J. kweee saaaaaajia
We the fantes and watching will open eyes to see what happens in the end. The NDC have always used weird logic and propaganda to divide and rule this country anytime they are in government. We are waiting.
