The immediate-past Ashaiman Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Shaddad Umar Jallo has promised to pay half of the GHS400,000 filing fee for former president John Mahama.
According to Mr Jallo, his decision to support the former president is borne out of love for him coupled with his ability to win political power for the NDC in the 2020 elections.
In an interview with Class News, Mr Jallo refuted an assertion that the flag bearer race is now for the highest bidder.
Explaining further, Mr Jallo argued that all aspirants who cannot raise the GHS400,000 filing fee are not eligible to lead the NDC to be president.
“When I heard about it, I said it’s good because the party needs money to run the party. If somebody likes John Mahama in this country, I’m the first person because I used my 4 x 4 car and branded it John Mahama because I want John Mahama to come back so we can take power from the NPP in 2020.
“Nobody can take power for the party in 2020 than John Mahama. Because of that, this GHS400,000, I Shaddad Jallo, I’ll make sure that I’ll pay half of that money for John Mahama because I love him, I want him to come back to take power for us in 2020.”
The NDC at its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday, 29 November at the party’s headquarters in Accra resolved that all male flag bearer aspirants are expected to pay GHS400,000 as filing fee while female flag bearer aspirants are to pay GHS200,000 and persons with disability aspiring to the same position are to pay GHS150,000.
Critics, including some of the flag bearer aspirants, have slammed the “exorbitant” filing fee.

@joey: you're a very bad l11arr..... You're NDC through and through. Mahatma wasn't moving the country forward, it was going backwards. Let's not get into these banters. You want Mahama, no one should insult you for making your choice. But don't tell us you are not NDC. It's a l1e and you know it. Stay happy with your choice!
What's the problem when some support JM if you don't like him don't insult people who are ready to support the great party to take us out of crisis from the corrupt government of Nana addo please stop the insult Chairman 1 you do all wish you more than you wish for your dad love you soo much
You are very stupiiiid and your IQ is just like that of a nursery kid. You probably have the privilege to live in one of these advance country where filing of tax return is compulsory for everyone. How many times did you file your tax return yourself in Ghana? Your level of intelligence is very appalling and you should know that it's not everyone who relied on the tax payers money for survival like you. If NPP does not feed you am sure you cannot afford three square meal and you have the effrontery to call someone a thiefffff. People like you should be ware that the day of reckoning is fast approaching and we shall see where some of you will take refuge. If you have any evidence the person who promised to pay the money evade tax why won't you report him to GRA. You are the most criminal and thiefffff for call the former president a certified thiefffff. I am not a member of NDC but I will always choose Mahama as a president over your Akuffo Addo. Mahama was doing the right thing to move this country forward. But for stupiiiiiidity of people like you level so many unsubstantiated allegation of corruption against him but yet your government couldn't prosecute him or his appointees. Don't just write stupiiiiiid things and accuse people wrongly because you think your NPP is power.
To the f001 who posted at Nana and Onaapo Ndc. Stop displaying your ignorance and f001ishness on this platform. You know nothing and because you have the mind of a simpleton you do not realise that in civilised jurisdictions anyone who makes such a declaration will have the tax agencies on his tail to look into his business and his tax returns. Because most of your type have criminal inclinations. you cannot think that if someone should just dash that kind of money to a certified th13f like Mahama he ought to be investigated.
GRA should do what? Some of you are so stupiiiiiiid to the extent that words cannot describe your level of stupiiiiiidity
Those are one of the places they hid the STOLE&^N money. GRA act NOW!
***barred word*** OOOOOOOOOO
GO AND HELP YOUR CONSTITUENCY WITH THAT AMOUNT BECAUSE 420000 IS NOTHING FOR JOHN MAHAMA
Loot and share people N.D.C.is corrupt.
JJ and Mahama are destroying NDC. Asiedu Nketia has joined the train. He is worse than the two.
