The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Ade Coker fully support President John Dramani Mahama to contest the NDC presidential slot in 2016 unopposed, he has been attacked by some members of the party including his General Secretary.
Ade Coker described President Mahama as the best and most experienced candidate to run on the partys ticket for the 2016 polls.
Mr. Ade Coker affirmed John Mahamas candidacy on Peace FM, saying, we in the NDC will not allow anybody to contest the President in 2016, and even if party members disagrees, I personally will oppose that and make sure the President goes unopposed.
He further explained that the party would maintain President Mahama for another four-year term unopposed so he could achieve his constitutionally guaranteed eight-year term as President.
But speaking on Adom FM, NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia also known in political circles as General Mosquito rubbished Ade Cokers assertion and said he has no business to impose on the NDC who leads the party in the 2016 polls.
Ade Cokers words are not regarded in the party (NDC). He has no business as to who leads the party in 2016. No regional chairman is consulted when it comes to a process of electing a flagbearer for the Party. Its the duty of the party headquarters not regional chairs, he noted.
