Former President John Mahama has disclosed one of the reasons that might have accounted for the National Democratic Congress (NDC's) inability to win the 2020 election.
The 2020 Presidential candidate of the NDC who challenged the results of the election in court made the disclosure at an annual conference of the party's Professionals Forum on Thursday.
According to him, “every region was asked to account for its performance in the 2020 elections. They came with reports and there was one region who stated that ‘some of our party agents were illiterate, they could not read or write...and the chairman asked, but who made them party agents?".
Adding “so it is obvious that they themselves have started doing a review of what went right or what went wrong. What they did well, leading to a positive outcome and what they could have done better”.
Two retreats
The former President further indicated that so far the main opposition party has held two retreats to analyse the party's performance in the 2020 election.
“In this effort to look forward, we held two retreats. One for the Members of Parliament and I was privileged to attend that retreat with them. It was very interesting. They did a lot of soul-searching and discussed very openly the issues that had confronted them in the early days in Parliament.
“Mr. speaker was there to give a very good speech to the Members of Parliament. We held another one for the party and party executives came from all around the regions and that was also a very positive retreat. Every region was asked to account for its performance in the 2020 elections and they came with reports.
“It was obvious that they had all began to do their own reviews of what went right or wrong in their regions. You should have listened to some of the regional reports, they were very interesting. There was one region that said some of our party agents were illiterate, they couldn’t read or write and the chairman asked, but who made them party agents?”
IT Professionals
Mr. Mahama, has meanwhile, urged IT professionals in the party to "use information Technology and now IT is becoming very important in terms of transmitting results and getting results in good time to be able to undertake the political decision making that is needed. And so we will expect that you will offer your services more to the party in these critical areas".

Where is "Profs" Kweku Azar, Prempeh, IMANI Africa and their likes, Who insisted the Supreme Court should have reversed the well established fundamental law of "Do Not compel a witness to testify in court when he chooses not to"? Some of these irr!tants do not have the appreciation of the d!abolic NDC. They are always m!schievours in all their endeavours. The same tricks they did during the Ayawaso By-Election, just that the Government overreacted. GHANAIANS MUST SERIOUSLY FEEAR NDC. THEY HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO OFFER THE NATION BUT CREAT, LOOT AND SHARE.They collapsed National Identification Authority, NHIS, Financial Sector, Energy system, AngloGold Ashanti, and many more. They are working towards taking advantage of the Pandemic to po!son Ghanaians minds as happened in 2007/8 world financial crises. Lets be careful not to fall in their d!abolical trap AGAIN.
You knew this yet you wasted our ears in court. You and your “crooks” are wicked. If the country had run into a turmoil given “hardened heart”, what would you have said? Innocent followers would have died a ***barred word*** death. Which such deceit, you still want the good people of Ghana to vote for you? What else do you have to offer after so many years in government?Very greedy indeed.
His excellency John Dramani Mahama, please for God sake I won't accept this comments from you,how can an/a experience national agent leave the strong room for tea and biscuit and put the blame on polling station agents. The grassroot agents did a clean job for party,for a whole full grown experience man to come and tell whole country that the referee sent him to deliver a message to while the game is still on?my eight years son won't do such a thing
Very sad President Mahama, dont you think NDC lost because of you as the candidate? I am sad for you. Thought I heard you say you won but now you agree you might have lost through illiterate polling agents so sad. Not Jean Mensa anymore!
So can't Mahama find something else to do and allow our ears to rest? We are tired of you please!
It's obvious Mr. Mahama and his NDC are confused, he doesn't know where to actually put the blame of his miserable and disgraceful defeat. He blamed the EC chair, then shifted to both spiritual and physical manipulations from NPP, and then now illiterate pooling agents. He initially said he won the elections, and at court he said he didn't win but no one had 50% + 1,what weak leader.
***barred word*** being, didn't you say Jean Mensah has stolen ? indeed you are ***barred word***.
Thought they won the elections? What changed? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh Mahama, you're calling those who spent their time and resources in assisting you illiterates? Soo sad. You keep on blaming everybody for the defeat apart from yourself. Shameful
That is why we need Free SHS. You need to thank Nana for introducing Free SHS. I'm sure in 12 years time, you will have enough literates and possibly numerates to represent the NDC at polling stations.
