THE Asokwa Constituency 1st Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Edmund Kyei, has said that, going by ongoing developments in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), it is clear that ex-President Mahama is afraid of competition.
He said the NDC is charging a staggering GH¢400,000 as filing fee from presidential aspirants on purpose.
According to him, Mr. Mahama, who has the backing of the NDC national executives, is clearly afraid of contest, and that the high filing fee is meant to deter some of the aspirants.
“Mr. Mahama is afraid of competition and so the NDC has decided to demand GH¢400,000 just to prevent some of the presidential aspirants from contesting him.
“Mr. Mahama is aware that he will lose the upcoming presidential race and wants to adopt crook means to get his way through as flagbearer.
“The NDC executives know that if they raise the amount to GH¢400,000 most of the aspirants cannot pay, and would opt out of the race, he stated, adding that even if Mahama eventually scales through the NDC race “he will face his match in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo”.
He noted that President Akufo-Addo would rely on his splendid works and policies to defeat Mahama during the 2020 presidential elections.

Mahama is always a crook. He stole his way through to become Vice President, massaged the Presidency for Mills to die for him to Become the President. In 2012, exploited elections and when the election was challenged and all became clear that he was loosing the case, again he employed all manner of means to get a favourable decision. Now he is on his own NDC. He is using Asiedu Nketia and the other members of the NDC executives to frustrate the aspiration of his opponents in the NDC presidential contest. He is a crook who always apply unfair methods to achieve his goal.He would have destroy Ghana with his corruption and his dubious ways. Thank God he is removed from Ghana Presidency and no more to be in control of the nation. As a means to come back to control Ghana he is back to control NDC. He exploited NDC delegetes to get the executives he wanted. He is now maneuvering to manipulate the NDC executives and party to control NDC. He is using Asiedu Nketia and Co. to eliminate the other presidential hopefuls. He knows how to exploit people to get power but does not know how to use power to develop and build. He is a destroyer and Ghana and NDC should get rid of him.
It's now that I know you lack commonsense. Did Mahama fix the filing fee himself. What on earth will make you suggest that Mahama is afraid of competition the reason NDC is charging aspirant to pay this amount. Is it that you just hate Mahama or what?
