Former Director of Communications at the Presidency during late Prof John Atta-Mills' regime, Samuel Koku Anyidoho has thanked God for the withdrawal of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor from the NDC's Saturday Presidential primary.
He said "there was no bloodshed because any drop of blood based on a fake register would have been attributed to Dr. Duffuor."
The Founder and CEO of the Atta-Mills Institute prior to the primaries had verbally 'attacked' the National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and National Executives of the NDC and former President John Mahama who eventually won.
In a tweet on Sunday morning after the elections, he attributed John Mahama's victory to a fake register.
"Let those who won by 10,0000000% enjoy their fake victory," he tweeted.
Mahama's Victory
Certified results by the Electoral Commission (EC) show Mr Mahama polled an overwhelming 297,603 votes representing 98.9% of the total valid votes cast at the end of the NDC primaries on Saturday.
His closest contender, the former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu, polled a paltry 3,181 representing 1.1%.
The other contender in the NDC flagbearership race, former Finance Minister in the Mills regime, Kwabena Duffour, pulled out on Friday.
Distrust for Mahama
The former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Koku Anyidoho has said he does not trust former President John Mahama’s promise to scrap ex-gratia.
He asked Mr Mahama to answer why he did not implement the Constitution Review Commission (CRC) White Paper on Emoluments when he was President.
Koku Anyidoho says he is prepared to debate Mr Mahama “on how he betrayed President Atta-Mills. I don’t trust him and will never trust him.”
“You think we are all stupid so you can lie to us by saying you will scrap ex-gratia. They say prove that you are sincere, by refunding what you are enjoying; you respond with insults by telling us that we are “silly”. Yooo we hear you Mr. dead goat,” he tweeted.
“I don’t trust John Mahama if he says he will scrap ex-gratia. Why did he not implement the Constitution Review Commission (CRC) White Paper on, Emoluments? I am prepared to debate John Dramani Mahama on how he betrayed President Atta-Mills. I don’t trust him and will never trust him.
Koku's Expulsion from NDC
In 2021, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reportedly expelled Koku Anyidoho, for indiscipline.
The party said the decision comes after the Functional Executive Committee (FEC) considered the report and recommendations of the National Disciplinary Committee on the case of misconduct and anti-party behaviour, brought against Anyidoho.
A letter signed by Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the then General Secretary of the NDC, said: “The Committee’s report found you guilty of the said allegations of misconduct and anti-party behaviour and recommended your outright expulsion from the party.”
“You are, therefore, by the decision of FEC, expelled from the National Democratic Congress and for that matter, you are no more recognised as a member of the Party and cannot carry yourself as such.”

I think Koku was overfed with Lactogen. He lacks respect and I wonder why he was even admitted to the bible school to exhibit such ***barred word***. I think he needs some milk in a feeding bottle.
I think Koku and Mahama were very close to late Atta Mills and both knew the circumstances leading his death and subsequent struggle of power control and power inheritance hence their bitter rivalries.
Kuku what do you want from Mahama? You have no shame greedy baaaaastard
Fact is after 2016 almost everybody thought John Mahama has "died" politically. Fortunately for him the actions and inactions of a few people have resurrected John Mahama and he looks more poised today than ever before. I wish he doesn't hold the presidential sword thrice but people are making it look very possible for him. 2016 he got 44%, in 2020 he moved up to 48% meaning his popularity inched up from his 2016 percentage .Now can one say things have improved from 2020 to now? I leave you with the answer. The fact that the Ghanaian electorate seems to quiet make it even dangerous . Fear people who under all pressure still remain quiet, you never can tell what's in their mind.
Kojo Agbomey, judging from your write up i can tell you went through school. but did the school also go through you? Apart from Mahama which better person do you think can win political power for the NDC at this time? you rather prefer Duffuor? I weep for ghana!
So what at all is wrong with Koku? His bitterness and resentment toward John mahama is too obvious and I think an as much as you don’t like him he needs not let the media use him. Sometimes it is better to keep quiet and mute with your emotions and intentions known to you and you only. Remember anger and resentment can make you fall on your own dagger.
Ghanaians of all walks of life are questioning the political ambition of John Mahama. What is his motive of his come back to the presidential thrown?? Probably he is been mislead from his political friends and probably he has been minipulated from his friends for thier political selfish interest. Be very carful J. Mahama. Politics is a dirty game and the worst form of politics is the African game of politics. Your political ambition may end up your political carrier and your political life. Your struggle for power at all cost led to the former minster of finance, Hon. Kwabena Duffuor to pull out of the competition. Your intergrity of this landslide victory is questionable. Your victory was simply cooked for you and ghanaians are not happy how a leading presidential candidate pulled out just for few days for the elections. Anomalies, twisting of the rules, manipulations of figures etc led to your victory. Ghanaians are much sceptical about Mahams political ambition and his second coming. Time will tell
Bitterness is like cancer. It can easily kill you. Let us learn to accept that some people will always be better than and you are also better than others. Such is life
