President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo would not be contesting the 2020 polls, editor of the Al Hajj Newspaper, Alhaji Bature Iddrissu has said.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo became President on his third attempt at the presidency. He failed to win the 2008 and 2012 elections.
In 2016, he polled 53.85 percent of the valid votes cast to become Ghana’s fifth president under the fourth Republic.
President Mahama, who ran on the ticket of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), secured 44.40 of valid votes cast.
President Mahama’s defeat makes him the first incumbent to lose an election since Ghana returned to multi-party democracy in 1992.
It is expected that the President who is only four months into his presidency would be contesting the 2020 polls on the ticket of the NPP once more to complete his two terms. President Mahama is also tipped to stage a comeback to seek a second term.
Alhaji Bature speaking on Adom TV’s Badwam Tuesday however said he is privy to information that President Akufo-Addo would not be contesting the 2020 polls.
According to him, the President would be bowing out of politics after his first term and would not want to go through another hectic campaign.
“Mark my words, Nana Addo would not contest the 2020 elections…today is 11th April, 2017 and I am saying this…Nana Addo would not contest 2020 polls…,” he said repeatedly on the show.
Alhaji Bature however could not offer a reason on why the President would not want to seek a re-election after his first term.
He however insisted that the former President is the favourite to contest the 2020 polls on the ticket of the NDC arguing that the former head of state has an impressive record of achievements.
Ghanaian voters, Alhaji Bature added would be clamouring for the return of the man who successfully moved from Assemblyman to President.

No you don't read or you read but you don't understand Nana 100 days unprecedented. The delta force issues let allow the law to work at the end it may be either you and your gangs in the NDC are at work aiding some group in the delta force to make the Nana and the NPP unpopular or the delta force has mistakenly lean something bad from JDM because he used the law to jailbreak the montee three these delta force might have think Nana would do same but unlike JDM Nana has demonstrate how principle a leader should be than God every citizen is dancing to that tune by condemning the unfortunate event of the delta force very soon you and your guys in the NDC would have nothing more to talk about, let me give you a wake-up call that you guys should start lacing your boots to rep the seed you sow in corruption its a countdown
Gyama 3y3 a na ntampe no fa Bature tirimu. Is Bature getting mad with the wee.
I just don't know what Alhaji Bature got from Mahama. Majority of Ghanaians are certain that Mahama was the worst Prez. this country has ever had since independence. Can Alhaji tell us what exactly Mahama did apart from borrowing huge sums of money for infrastructure which any Ghanaian can do anyway?
THIS BATURE IS A BIG PROBLEM AND A DISGRACE TO OUR PARTY NDC AGAIN HAS NO SHAME A DISGRACE TO EDITORS FROM ONE LIES TO ANOTHER.THINK ABOUT NDC WHICH IS HEADING TO FAILURES LIKE CPP
Ghanaians will not bring back ***barred word***, evil dwarfs, and babies with sharp teeth anytime soon.Am sure in another year or so there will be no ndc. Most of the top guys are going to jail anyway. I like to see PPP and CPP replace ndc in opposition.
I DID SKIP THIS GARBAGE TO READ SOMETHING ELSE
***barred word*** please...you are one of the reasons the NDC lost always hyping Mahama and never telling him the truth. Hypocriate
Kojo, I agree totally with you. Bature is very sick in the head.
"IF NANA KONADU CONTEST PROF. MILLS, I WILL NOT SPEAK ON RADIO AGAIN" THIS IS THE CHARACTER WHO IS SAYING THE ABOVE. I REST MY CASE. A NONENTITY IN EVERY SPHERE.
Hahahaaaaaa...Bature has a big problem, I think he have to see a psychiatric doctor for a check up, the man sick from his head.i rest my case....
