The Campaign Coordinator of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams has called on the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stop comparing their flagbearer to the United States President-elect, Donald Trump.
According to Kofi Adams, the comparison is needless as the two septuagenarians are not in the same class.
Donald Trump defied all odds to win the much-publicised elections of the world's remaining superpower.
His victory, which has shaken the world, has been interpreted by supporters and sympathisers of the NPP as a sign that their flagbearer would also win the December polls in Ghana.
Widely publicised comments of the General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia likening Nana Akufo-Addo to Donald Trump, the NPP sympathisers have said, portends the impending victory for the NPP.
But Kofi Adams speaking on Adom FM’s Midday News on Wednesday claimed the comparisons are needless as according to him, Nana Addo is not and can never be at par with Donald Trump.
“Trump’s victory should make NPP cry because Trump and Nana Addo are not in the same class…America has never voted against a sitting President and hence the vote was not against Obama who is a sitting President like John Mahama…,” he said.
He insisted that Nana Addo should rather be compared to Hillary Clinton who lost her first attempt at leading the Democratic Party to Obama and has also lost a major national election.
“Hillary lost in her first attempt to be the Democrats' candidate and lost in this major elections…Nana Addo also lost in NPP primaries, lost in elections twice and if there is someone who has been doing well, it is President Mahama…,” he said.
He further argued that just as Donald Trump won in certain states which ordinarily do not vote for Republicans, President Mahama also won in some constituencies NDC hitherto has never won.
“If American election has any bearing on Ghana's elections, then President Mahama must be allowed to continue as he is the one causing change…,” he said.

You people say he should check his facts. What facts? A riffraff Togolese who graduated from a drunken pupil teacher to Rawlings boy boy. What else can you expect from this semi literate? Anokwa politics paa mome...abaii. How dare such a ***barred word*** talk about class?
What class is that? Fine trump is a billionaire, but with all his money he is openly mocked and seen as a big cry baby. And so what if Nana is not in his class? Nana may not be in his class but u kofi is no where near nana's class

With no message, NDC has resorted to bogus analysis. You were all over say NDC is Democratic Party (Hillary) and NPP is Republicans (Thrumb). Now Hillary lost, listen to their PROPAGANDA. CHANGE IS COMING!
Trump is a degenerate who grabs women by the puuzzzzy. Same as mahama, hence is uncountable number of kids!
Mr Adams Check your facts before you misinform us. America voted against Jimmy Carter in 1980. Carter was the sitting President when he was voted out by Reagan. Get Your HISTORY Lessons RIGHT
Check your 'facts' again! Jimmy Carter, George ***barred word*** Senior, Gerald Ford, and LB Johnson are sitting Presidents in recent history who lost their re-election bids! Stop recereating History!
Idi.iots! Jimmy Carter and George ***barred word*** senior were Both one term presidents, du.mb as.s, you would know that if you read a little. Americans don't vote against a sitting president indeed!
So when you are insulted you do not hear or not. You Kofi Adamu and Allotey Jacob are the most Stuuuupid people in Ghana.
