Daily Dispatch newspaper pollster and editor-in-chief Ben Ephson firmly believes that no one can challenge former President John Dramani Mahama for the 2024 flag-bearer position for the opposition Democratic National Congress (NDC).
According to him, the former president has still proven to have a track record for leading the party for a possible victory in 2024.
Speaking on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Abia’ show with Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, he explained that getting more than 6 million votes in the 2020 general election is not an easy task.
“So that John Dramani Mahama can do that indicates that he is still a popular figure in the political landscape of the country. Even within his party, I don’t think there is anything new to say that will smear or discredit the former president, because those things have already been said by those who even disputed with him during the 2019 flag race of the Democratic National Congress, “said the pollster.
The next presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on December 7, 2024.
Due to term limits imposed on presidents under the 1992 constitution, the New Patriotic Party (PNP) will certainly present a new face, after President Akufo-Addo, who was first elected in 2016, ends. his second term in 2024.
Mahama deserves a free pass in 2024 – Apaak
Builsa South Member of Parliament (MP) Dr. Clement Apaak has argued that former President John Dramani Mahama was robbed of victory in the 2020 presidential election.
The legislator says that the agenda, to rob the former president, was led by state institutions that were personally chosen by their contender, the incumbent president.
He said that “it is evident that Mr. Mahama had the victory stolen and, as it is now, [Mahama] he is the only one who can rescue the country. You must have a free pass to claim your stolen mandate. “
It is not clear what this position means, but deep sources from the NDC have confirmed that the former president could run as the party’s candidate in 2024.
The lawmaker who served as a member of the former president’s presidential staff before being elected to parliament said the NDC needs Mr. Mahama more than Mahama needs the NDC.
For him, Mr. Mahama clearly won the election, but was manipulated for the incumbent.
