A youth group of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), calling itself ‘NDC Diehards’ is mounting pressure on Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah to withdraw a statement he made that the NDC needs a new face other than former President Mahama for the 2020 presidential elections.
The group has also attacked the former Trades and Industry Minister for declaring his intention to contest the NDC 2020 flagbearership.
According to the group, it is too early for ‘ungrateful’ Spio-Garbrah to declare his intentions and to make such pronouncements against the former President.
Dr. Spio-Garbrah, during a meeting with some NDC members at Asawase in the Ashanti Region, stated that the NDC needs a new face for 2020.
He reiterated that the 2020 presidential election would be a tough one; for which reason the NDC needs a more competent and credible leader.
Dr. Spio-Garbrah went on to tip himself as the ideal candidate for the party, thus discrediting former President John Dramani Mahama.
However, the NDC Diehards group disagrees with him, stated a mynews.com report. A spokesperson for the group, Joe Kwei, says John Mahama is still the effective leader the NDC can have for 2020.
He said this in a three-paragraphed statement headlined “NDC and Ghana at large is lamenting for the comeback of JDM in 2020 Not a new a face.”
“I have read a submission made by Dr Ekow Spio-Gabrah that NDC needs a new face for 2020 polls to prove that NDC has the men. …On the contrary, the writings on the walls says the opposite that, John Dramani Mahama must come back,” Joe Kwei rebutted.
According to him, the majority in the NDC and Ghanaians at large are expecting the return of the former President in 2020.
Therefore, Spio-Garbah should withdraw his comments that the NDC needs a new face for the 2020 polls.

I saw this coming long ago even before Mahama. Mahama was just lucky to have scaled through by shear circumstance. That is the outcome of idol worshiping in NDC. Because of chopchop they worship whoever is at the helm. The young guys have all soiled themselves badly either by disrespect, incompetence or ***barred word***. They should learn from the young guys Nana is training. Countless potentials. Kojo Opong Nkrumah, John Boadu, Sammy Awuku, Napo, The two Chief of staff, the young girls in their 20s, just to name a few. I am talking post Bawumia/Alan. Maybe they should consider Asaga.
His will not windrow statement because it's not only jonh mahamam who need money. Allow everyone his or her to contest. It's not John who formed the part so stop your foolishness
Spio is the best option, No one else. Mahama!!!!!tweakayi
It looks like the NDC is suffering from leadership crisis with no one to lead them come 2020 hence the old face. It would be better if JDM steps down to avoid humiliation come 2020.
Kwei or who ever that your name is, you and your group should understand and tolerate opinions from others. Just tell Spio 'the NDC does not need a new face' and leave the rest to the congress, finito. He shared his views, share yours. What is the withdrawal of statement in this? I dont need Mahama and a lot people as well but you are saying Ghanaians need him. What does that make you? Wise or .....?
MTWWWWWWWW! You people you for make we think.
What survey did u do that shows Ghanaians at large want John Mahama to retiurn in 2020?U can tikcle urself nd laugh.Spio Garbrah has d right to stand if he so wishes.
i can say this for a fact that Spio Garbrah and Albin Bagbin are better and competent leaders than incompetent John Mahama. That man, Mahama made Ghana an unbearable country. full of corrupt tendencies. let me put it this way, ewiiiiies3m, to wit thieveryyy.. they stole all our monies and spent them on their girlfriends... as for NDC, they will remain in OPPOSITION FOREVER
Spio Garbrah is a better option than the over rated non performer. By all measured accounts, John Mahama is not fit for purpose.
