Former President John Mahama is keen on making history as the first former President to be reelected as Head of State.
“My brothers and sisters, I believe we can make history, and that is the history of the re-election of a person who was president before. It is a rare phenomenon,” he said in a meeting with National Democratic Congress (NDC) legislators on Tuesday.
“I believe the NDC will write a page in the history books of Ghana with the reelection of a person who has been president before.” Mr. Mahama is already looking beyond the NDC presidential primaries in January 2019 as he says his party’s prospects “are very bright.”
Some 96 members of the NDC caucus in Parliament purportedly raised over GHc 600,000 for Mr. Mahama’s bid to become the NDC flagbearer.
He stressed to the NDC MPs that the party must start strategising for what they will do when they assume the mantle of governance. “When I do get elected, it will be for just one term, and so it must be an administration that hits the ground running and so a lot of the strategy and preparations must be done in advance of January 7, 2021, because that will be a government in a hurry.”
Among other things, Mr. Mahama said the preparation would be needed to stabilise the economy the NPP leaves behind, in the event of an NDC win.
“But that’s the history of NDC. We always have to do the heavy lifting and then when we have done the heavy lifting, things are stable, then these our opponents come in and then they enjoy a free ride and take us back to where we came from.”

Giving free cars and houses to the Akua Donkors and taking them to foreign business trips are still fresh in our minds. The incompetent is still there for all to see. Why did you support Ofosu Ampofo? This man has always been loosing to the npp. Can he help you to make an inroad in now a very stronghold of npp in his home region? Mr President Mahama this is the first time in your long political life that you are going for a hard election against a hardened and fortified politician. You will soon know it.
Why is Mahama so greedy? Is he the only NDC eligible candidate to lead Ghana? You had your fair share of the prestige and wealth, your wife was first lady,why are you preventing others from taking that position? He must not be re-elected. Lets see what others too can do for Ghana.
The history rather will be that a Former President stood elections again just after a term of being out of office and lost terribly.
Mahama should thank Satan that tribalism, illiteracy, and ignorance are high in Ghana. If not these factors, who on earth will vote for him. Ahocfe hunu ara kwa. His brother Ibrahim Mahama's money alone can cater for the people of Upper East Region.
Yes we will make another history. the 2016 one is not good enough. this time the history will send you to comatose and you will never come back to life again. greedy bastard.
WE WILL MAKE BIOLOGY..***barred word*** ALL U CARE ABOUT IS MAKING HISTORY...JON BOY
Once a history student, the least temptation to make history is always present. Why not? First you made history with your humiliating defeat in the country's history during the 2016 elections. You will surely make another history in 2020 with the single heaviest electoral defeat.
you think we are here for history? waaaaa look
This BAD history will NEVER be made!
