A Senior Lecturer at the Kumasi Polytechnic has said that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will continue to remain in opposition if they fail to present a Martin Amidu and Nana Konadu Rawlings ticket for the 2020 elections.
The former Attorney General and 2016 flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), the Lecturer said can do the magic for the NDC in 2020.
According to Thomas Kusi Boafo, retaining President John Dramani Mahama as the flagbearer for the NDC in the next presidential election will not only send the party into opposition but will lead to chaos in the party.
“It’s not the best for Mahama to come back. They should bring Martin Amidu as flagbearer and allow Nana Agyeman-Rawlings the chance to be his running mate. This will work for the NDC; otherwise, they would stay in opposition for a long time. It has to work for them,” he stated on Accra-based Okay FM.
Explaining what led to the defeat of the NDC in the 2016 polls, the political commentator and analyst said: “the NPP with regards to Dr. Bawumia limited politics from the ordinary rhetoric to the issue based system. Politics was reduced to the ordinary voter doorstep; giving them exactly what they wanted to hear pertaining to their economic status.
“NPP proved they had a better economic management team than the NDC in terms of professionalism and credibility. Amissah Arthur as a politician should have rubbished the 170 questions posed to him by Dr Bawumia but he rather gave a crippled excuse to counter him, and that was a loss…,” he added.
The lecturer disclosed that NDC’s increment of taxes, staying in the court of the IMF, power crisis ‘Dumsor’, corruption, character assassination, failure of the Green Book, weak campaign team and lack of an arrow head such as Jerry John Rawlings brought them to a standstill in the presidential race.
“Rawlings gave Akufo-Addo the heads up and deemed him incorruptible. NDC’s policies and programs under the IMF went against them. Employers and businessmen were crying since taxes were high. Power crisis should not be left out".
He added that “If NDC is not around NPP won’t work. I love it when NDC is in opposition because they give NPP tough time to function. I really love it. They bark on them to work and that’s what we need."

I think this so called lecture is not thinking straight. How can you even think of something like this. This doesn't even make any sense at all. This will not even fly among class one focus group. Complete out of this world.
Hmmmmmmmmm. It sounds logical but it doesn't look possible
HAHAHAHA, HAHAHAHA, HAHAHHAA, HAHAHHA, AND WHO WILL VOTE FOR THEM. DID THEY VOTE FOR NDC WHEN NDC NEEDED THEIR VOTES. ANKA 3B3Y3 DE K3K3. WE WILL CARRY THEM SO HIGH AND THE ELECTION DAY THEY WILL GET ZERO. YOU DO ME I DO U MAN NO GO VERSE
But lecturer.. nana konadu is no longer party of the ndc. she abandoned it,renounced and left. the ndc constitution will not allow her. come again if indeed you know what you are talking about. its a bit like saying edward mahama must be the flagbearer
Mentally deranged lecturer.
Some of our lecturers are mentally sick with the kind of analyses they do on radio. How can NDC use Martin Amidu and Konadu as their flag bearers? Who will campaign for them after they have succeeded in destroying the NDC by their actions? The lecturer should go to Ankaful for psychiatric examination. He is not fit to be a lecturer per the analysis he just did on radio
This lecturer needs his head examined. How can Ndc put on its ticket members of npp. Both amidu and konadu are members of npp so how would they stand on Ndc ticket.
NPP START CAMPAIGNING FROM TODAY AND ALSO FULFILL YOUR PROMISES TO THE PEOPLE OF GHANA!!MAHAMA IS COMING TO TOASO IN 2020.GHANAIANS R SAYING THAT ADDO HAS TRIED MANY TIMES N HE IS GETTING TOO OLD SO LET US GIVE HIM 1 TERM THEN BRING MAHAMA BACK.HOWEVER, I'M EXCITED AT ADDO'S PROMISES, GH GO BE KEKE!!
