For former president Mahama, to come to a realization that his own appointees have ganged up against him in the race to the lead the National Democratic Congress in 2020, makes him nervous, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party has observed.

Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, known in the politcal circles as Chairman Wontumi explains that as the NDC intends to hold its presidential primaries on December 7, 2018, former president Mahama, is becoming extremely paranoid; praying the entire build-up was just a dream.

The NPP scribe noted that the former president was “so bad at governing that his own appointees have detected it and don’t want the party to make a mistake of voting for him again”.

So far, eleven members of the opposition NDC have expressed interest in leading the party into the 2020 elections and Chairman Wontumi believes that it is making former president “sick” forcing him to needless statements about President Akufo-Addo and the NPP without preaching what he represents if voted for.

Those who have declared their intentions include former President John Mahama, the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin; a former Trade Minister, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah and a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Sylvester Adinam Mensah.

The rest are the former Vice Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Professor Joshua Alabi; a banker and oil and gas consultant, Nurideen Iddrisu; the Member of Parliament (MP) for Cape Coast South, George Kwaku Ricketts Hagan; a member of the NDC’s communication team, Stephen Atubiga; a lawyer,­­­ Elikplim Agbemava and Mr David Dotse Kwame Kuwadah and Goosie Tanoh.
