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.

Well, he won’t be the First 1 term president in our country’s history.. we have the well defeated Mahama to thank for such a humiliating position in our history
NDC is still in comfortable lead in opposition and they will stay there forever.Koku Anyidoho knows that very well that Nana Addo is the President.
this same institution conducted survey during the 2016 elections and you same guys said the same thing.you tore it into pieces, buy the time the result was announced you were in the comfortable lead. yooooo ye tse wei.
The era where Dr. Afari 27zero Gyan helped you to win elections is over. Charlotte could not help you even when you were in Gov't. Now that she is in a precarious situation, not knowing her fate, how are you going to win elections? As for vigilance at the polling stations, it has come to stay. STL cannot doctor election results for you, because we have Joe Anokye at NCA to stop it.
That is why Dr. Bawumia will always tell you NDC people that you don't read and even if you read, you don't really understand what you read. The survey says about 52% of Ghanaians will vote for the NPP and only 33% will vote for the NDC as at end of 2016,if elections were held at that time. All of a sudden, the NDC people are jumping up-and-down like castrated buuuuls, that they will win in 2020. The NPP lost only 2% from the last election results of about 54%, while the NDC has lost about 11% of votes compared to the results of 44.4% received from the 2016 elections. Wherein lies your happiness, Koku, the T. W. E. R. P?
You are now strengthening structures and dealing with all outstanding issues, which means you are not even sure where this will end, yet you are saying Nana Addo will be a one-term president. If you believe in yourself why bother about strengthening structures? Just go and sleep, after all you know you will win. F00_li$h man
They first said Nana Addo can never be president, then Nana Addo won the 2016 elections comfortably. Now they say he is one term president, yoo we hear you “prophet” Koku. Let’s wait for 2020 to know the real one term president.
MR COMFORTABLE LEAD! YOU WILL STAY IN OPPOSITION UNITL THY KINGDOM COME. NEVER AGAIN ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THAT MISTAKE FOR YOU TO COME AND DISSIPATE OUR RESOURCES INTO YOUR POCKETS. NEVER AGAIN. IF NOTHING AT ALL MANY GHANAIANS ARE BENEFITING FROM THE FREE SHS PROGRAM AND GENERATIONS UNBORN WILL ALSO BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM. ANY TIME YOUR PARTY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RULE THE COUNTRY YOU PUT OUR RESOURCES INTO YOUR POCKETS INSTEAD OF INTRODUCING SOCIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMS THAT WILL BE OF BENEFIT TO THE MASSES.
