Former President John Dramani Mahama will run for the flag bearer slot of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Yamoah Ponkoh, a prominent member of the party in the Ashanti Region, has said.
According to Mr Ponkoh, the party and its executives are convinced that Mr Mahama is the best person to recapture political power for the NDC.
So far, about four leading members of the NDC have launched their bid to contest in the flag bearer race.
They are former Majority Leader of Parliament, Alban Bagbin; former Rector of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Prof Joshua Alabi; Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, former Minister of Trade and Industry; and Mr Sylvester Mensah, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
Mr Mahama is yet to declare whether he will contest or not. Addressing members of the NDC in Kumasi on Saturday, 28 April 2018, during the party’s Unity Walk, Mr Mahama said God will choose a leader for the party.
“God himself will choose someone to lead us. And I know that when that person is selected, by the grace of God, we will be victorious in the 2020 election,” he said.
Speaking on Accra FM on Monday, 30 April, Mr Ponkoh said: “We are bringing John Mahama in the 2020 elections. He is our best bet for the elections, and, so, the delegates have decided to bring him.”
“Ghanaians are disappointed at the Akufo-Addo-led government and they are yearning for the return of John Mahama,” he said.

Massa, we know he is the one coming and we will give him another defeat that he will never 4get.Then Mr Rawlings can take his party Back.I guess by then he will start to protect the CLS money LEFT.
I swear God if you dont bring this John back to be buried finally, i will commit suicide. Bring him again . Huhhhhhhhh
Bring him again and see how he will be humiliated.
This okronfuo will destroy NDC ooh.Where is the unity?
THE NDC IS SO SO PATHETIC! BRINGING MAHAMA BACK WILL BE THE BEST THING THAT THE NPP WILL EVER WISH TO HAVE.
He can even jump. Who cares
l think he cannot contest to become a flag bearer or a presidential candidate again and after losing each one of them still mentaining his status as statesman by receiving state benefits.So if such law is not in our books then parliament should think about it.
You can keep the th13f of Bagdad to yourself.This man will NEVER be president of this country again .Why? Because we are not s-tu-p-i-d.
BRING HIM, WE ARE WAITING.YOUR 44% WILL TURN TO 24%YOUR COMFORTABLE LEAD WILL TURN TO BITTER LEAD.
