The General Secretary of the largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has explained that the interest shown in the presidential slot for the 2020 election by members of the umbrella family is an indication that the party is attractive.
Mr Nketia was responding to the question on the popping up of posters with the likes of Mr Alban Bagbin announcing his presidential ambition and desire to represent the NDC in 2020.
Speaking on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm the chief scribe of the NDC asked if the other parties were making the news with interested members ‘fighting’ to be presidential candidates.
Good for the party
According to him, the current atmosphere surrounding the NDC had exposed the lies of certain individuals that the party had collapsed or was on the verge of collapse.
Mr Nketia quizzed whether they had heard of anyone coming out to express his interest to represent the PPP, NDP, CPP, or PNC,after the 2016 general election.
He added: ”This in my opinion shows that you cannot become the President of Ghana with these political parties. This is good for the party. It gives a strong indication that the NDC is strong and has not collapsed as speculated by some faceless individuals.”
Current administration
According to him, it may turn out that these individuals do not know anything about the posters, and may be rather people who believe in their capabilities who are campaigning for them.
He ruled out any connection of the campaign to the executive, stressing that “we have not started any competition yet…It is good that people are speculating and it also shows that Ghanaians are highly disappointed in the New Patriotic Party’s government. It is an encouragement for all of us,” he concluded

SO WHEN NPP WENT TO CONGRESS TO ELECT THEIR FLAGBEARER WITH OVER 10 ASPIRANTS, WHAT DID ASIEDU NKETIAH SAY ABOUT IT, HE EVEN CALLED THEM ***barred word*** SO NOW IT IS DIFFERENT ?
Is this man correct in his sseenseeess? I strongly doubt it.
Inti Kuma or Ajaz
NDC's greatness? Really? do you remember what you said when 17 men vied for the NPP slot? Life truly has a nasty way of turning on you
I can't wait to see the current national executives losing their positions....again I would want to see those babies with sharp teeths losing at the primaries too....okudzato must lose his seat !!!
Rawlings will be after you very soon. I wonder if Asiedu Nketia and Rawlings can sit on a round table and take a decision for NDC. That will be a very beautiful scene.
So very soon Ghanaians will call your 20 contenders 20 thieeeves going to declare who is the biggest tthiif.
I admire the way General is playing the NDC brand of politics. For the sake of maintaining his office, he has found his hoarse voice once more. General, you want to make yourself very relevant so as not to loose your current office when the contest begins. I admire your style though. Good luck during your elections!
A great Party led by stealers. Hahahahaah
NPP is a great party then, 17 people contested the flagbearership the last time. NDC will soon be fragmented party.
