The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has declared his support for former President John Mahama should he decide to contest the presidency again in 2020.
“He is my candidate; I can confirm that to you. If he throws his hat in the ring, he will have my full support. And I think that he is our best bet because on what record, who’s legacy will we be running on? It is his record,” Mr. Ablakwa said on Eyewitness News.
Former President Mahama suffered the worst election defeat of a sitting president in Ghana’s democracy, where he recorded 44.40 percent of valid votes cast, losing to the New Patriotic Party’s Nana Akufo-Addo, who was endorsed by 53.85 percent of the electorate.
But that doesn’t diminish his prospects for the presidency in the eyes of some NDC members, as there are some murmurs within the party nudging him towards a 2020 flagbearership bid.
Some other party members came out publicly in support of Mr. Mahama with the NDC’s National Organizer, Kofi Adams, saying that Mr. Mahama was the best candidate for his party in the next election.
“President Mahama in today’s NDC is the best material that we have,” he said.
The NDC Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak, also said he believed Mr. Mahama, is the man to lead their party to victory in the next four years.
“In the next election, I do not see any other candidate who can best lead us to victory other than John Dramani Mahama. He has been there; he knows what we need to do to get it right.”

Yes Ablakwa you are spot on...why cant Mahama be your best choice? who else will allow sharp teeth babies to rain insults on pastors, tell lies and propaganda, inflate project cost, steal cars and money from the public, borrow borrow and borrow money to cripple the economy. Why not wish him back so you can take advantage over his incompetence. I know I will do the same....
You guys are st.upid. You can even find a decent person to lead your party. Very pathetic. Mahama your best best indeed. Let him come. This time he will lose by more than 2 million votes. You think we like to be governed by incompetent leaders, N.ons.ense

Mahama standing for the NDC will win the 2020 election for the NPP very easily. Mahama is too corrupt. He accepts bribe and is a bribe giver. Bugri Naabu and Kanazoe ford are the most recent examples. By the way who killed Prof Mills? Mahama knows and must tell us all.
is that the reason why they trying to tarnish the images of their leadership in parliament? i can't think ***barred word***.B'cos I quiet remember bagbin said they were preparing Haruna Iddrisu to become their next presidential candidate after Mahama. so think that is why they want to discredit Haruna so that their supporters will reject them.
