The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vowed to unseat president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in 2020, hours after a poll result suggested another defeat for it if elections were held last year.
NDC Deputy General Secretary Koku Anyidohu said the party is strengthening its structures and dealing with all outstanding issues before the next poll.
He told Joy News Wednesday president Akufo-Addo will be a “one-term president.”
Mr Anyidohu was reacting to a University of Ghana Political Science Department survey that revealed about 52.7 percent of the people interviewed will vote to maintain the president after one year in office.
The poll conducted from December 9 – 20, 2017 also disclosed about 33.1 percent of the 5,000 respondents say they will vote for the NDC.
But Mr Anyidohu has torn into the report, describing the survey period as inadequate to enable the researchers to arrive at a convincing report. The survey took 11 days.
“I don’t doubt their intellectual acumen [but] things have changed [because] parliament reconvened in the cash-for-seat and there is a CHRAJ report indicting Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta,” he said.
The NDC Deputy General said the party will surprise all the pollsters who are predicting its defeat as was done by the US Republican party which won the 2016 presidential election with a candidate who trailed in many polls.
"Donald Trump lost all the polls but he won," Mr Anyidohu said of the business mogul turned president.
The survey also revealed a majority of the respondents want the NDC to elect ex-president John Mahama to lead it into the 2020 polls.
The former president garnered an overwhelming 58 percent ahead of all the other individuals who have expressed their interest to lead the NDC, including former Trades Minister Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.

Let ndc tickle themselves and laugh of one term for Nana Addo and who told them so, and who said the Ghanaian people prefer Anyidoho, John mahama and their ndc to Nana Addo, Dr Bawumiah and their government ?hahahahahaha! They are still in their ndc 2016 mode, they will never learn because they are fo*ls. The group who did this survey did the same thing and came out the NPP was going to win and ndc descended on them with insults and ndc think Ghanaians like them? they lie bad ! Even IEA has hasade it clear ndc will never win 2020, you people are joking! Who are going to vote for you ,your 4 regions or you think the 1.5 million margin can be overturned for the ndc to win?on what grounds ,your propaganda of corruption with no evidence or trying to make the government mentioned look like John mahama's government? Ghanaians are discerning and wouldn't listen to Koku Anyidoho the bull to vote for arrogance, thi*ves, disrespectful idi*ts. Ndc is not coming today or tomorrow, sit in your $20 million HQs and ride V8 and think Ghanaians are fo*ls who would look up to you idi*ts to vote for you to come and fill your belly. Nkwas*asem kwa! Who told you Ghanaians want ndc?tweeeaaa! Over the dead bodies of Ghanaians will ndc come back to power. Who is that fo*l to vote for you people, take your diehards who follow you as Ghanaians and tickle yourself you will have the shock of your lives. The 54% are intact for the NPP and by 2020 more people would have joined to make it over this 54% plus the diasporians, you will smell pepper papa. Kai ! WHo told you Nana is one term? You can never kill him like Prof. Mills to get power, whoever is assuring you will be in vain. Ghanaians will still vote against ndc, we don't like you.
This short sighted Mr “NDC In Comfortable LEAD” can’t really see far. Ignore him.
Are u guys really sure this Anyidoho guy truly wants John Mahama to win 2020? His demeanor doesn't tell me so.
why is ndc all about winning elections? They destroyed it 1979-2001, Kuffour restored it. They destroyed it again in 2008-2016, Nana Addo is trying to repair it but still, they are enchanting to destroy it again and again in 2020 the few Nana Addo could do for the nation. Apart from politics I think ndc people have nothing doing, Jesus Christ!!
