Outspoken Ghanaian Lawyer, Maurice Ampaw says former President John Dramani Mahama will be a “laughing stock” in his attempt to run for the presidency in 2020.
“What is he [John Mahama] coming to do again? He has done his part for the country so he should retire as a statesman than coming back. He will be subjected to general mockery or ridicule”, the controversial lawyer said.
According to him “Persons calling for Mahama to contest again for the presidency are all selfish. They are doing that at their own interest by using the former president”.
Former President John Mahama has hinted that he may consider running for the presidency on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] again.
He said he has reflected on the numerous calls by the party's teeming supporters and sympathizers to declare his intention to contest in 2020.
In a Facebook post, Saturday, Mr Mahama was coy on whether he will be the NDC's flagbearer but said, "I will not disappoint you even as we await the publication of the party’s guidelines for selecting a new leader."
The issue of who leads the largest opposition party into the next general election in 2020 has been a topical issue recently.
But Maurice Ampaw in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ said “Mahama will be a bad choice for the NDC this time. He will suffer if he comes back. He has achieved everything, what else does he want? He can’t change Ghana”.

All NDC commentators are insulting, why? Insults and propaganda will not help NDC. It is rather destroying the party. Ghanaians are well decerning. They are not in the seventies and eighties. They are in the twenty-first century. Mahama and his little babies with sharp teeth stole Ghana to it's knees. Gave all Ghana assets to Ibrahim, Michael, brothers and his wife. So, was there money to pay for SHS, Nurses and teacher trainee allowances? You are not ashamed. If you think Ghanaians are ***barred word***, you are laughing at the wrong side of your mouth. NDC will soon be a forgotten history like the CPP. It won't survive the test of time because of propaganda.
Mahama is just greedy..
Whether Mahama will rule for one month, we need him back. Mahama is far better than Nana Akufo Addo liar. Where are your more promises ?

SHORTSIGHTED LAWYER. NANA ADDO CONTESTED PRIMARIES IN 1998 AND LOST AGAINST PREZ KUFFOUR. IN 2007 , NANA ADDO CONTESTED NPP PRIMARIES AND HE DID NOT GET 50%+1. HE WENT AHEAD TO CONTEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY BUT HE LOST TO ATTA MILLS. IN 2012 , HE LOST THE PRESIDENCY TO MAHAMA. IN 2016 HE WON AGAINST JOHN MAHAMA. IT THEREFORE TELLS YOU THAT THE POPULATION SIZE, VOTING AGE, CAMPAIGN MESSAGES ARE ALL DYNAMIC. IN POLITICS, WE HAVE INCUMBENT ADVANTAGE AND INCUMBENT DISADVANTAGE. ONE DISTRICT ONE FACTORY, ONE VILLAGE ONE DAM, ONE MILLION ONE CONSTITUENCIES, CORRUPTION WERE STRONG CAMPAIGN MESSAGES FOR NPP IN 2016. SAME MESSAGES TODAY ARE INCUMBENT DISADVANTAGE. THE UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES LARGELY VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION. PLEASE NOTE, IF MAHAMA SHOULD LOSE 2020 ELECTIONS, AND WINS 2024 ELECTION AT HIS CURRENT AGE(60 YRS, 1958 BORN) WILL STILL BE AT 66 YRS FAR YOUNGER THAN 72 YRS WHEN NANA STARTS HIS FIRST TERM. THE BEST WAY TO STAY IN POWER IS FULFILL THE ASPIRATION OF THE LARGER GHANAIAN PEOPLE BUT NOT YOUR WISHFUL THINKING. IS NOT ABOUT CASH FOR SEAT, CASH FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY , $20,000 TO SEE THE PRESIDENT. NANA DOLLAR. AS I C QUAYE IN 2008, NANA NANA NA SHOOOOORRRR. IT TURN OUT TO BE NNAAANA NAA SHOCK.
