Former president John Mahama has said his next administration in January 2019 will be one in a hurry since he will serve just a term.
At a meeting with 96 members of parliament of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Tuesday, 11 December 2018, Mr Mahama, who is one of eight flag bearer-aspirants of the party, said the NDC can make history in Ghana's politics by being the first party on whose ticket a former president gets re-elected.
"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 told the lawmakers who have supported his campaign with GHS600,000 to pay his nomination and filing fees of GHS320,000.
"I believe the NDC will write a page in the history books of Ghana with the re-election of a person who has been president before", Mr Mahama noted, adding that the prospects of the NDC winning the 2020 elections "are very bright".
"When I do get elected", Mr Mahama said, "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".
According to him, "… 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".

The most confused ex-President in the whole wide world. We would like to hear your policies to transform Ghana...Like building the railway system, free tertiary education for all, boosting agriculture etc.etc. You were vice for 4 years, 1-2 years president and had a full four years as president and what we saw was incompetence in the highest form with corruption at its best. You are sham less indeed to tell Ghanaian your second coming will be HISTORY....YOU JUST WANT POWER TO MAKE HISTORY????. NEVER.
