Pollster and Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch, Ben Ephson has said former President John Mahama will be engaging in an exercise in futility if he decides to lead the NDC party Election 2020.
He said given the current strife in the NDC and the likely worsening of the situation, the ex leader is sure to lead the party into that crucial polls with a fragmented front.
The NDC lost the 2016 elections to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Akufo-Addo beat the incumbent John Mahama with nearly a million votes to win the presidency with the NPP also having almost an absolute majority in parliament after snatching a large number of seats from the NDC.
Even as the Prof. Kwesi Botchway Committee investigating what led to the party's shameful defeat continues with its work, members of the NDC have in the past few days traded accusations against each other.
While some leading members have accused the former President, John Mahama of leading the party into ditch, others believe the stashing of campaign cash by some senior party officers caused the defeat.
Speaking to Kasapa News Mr. Ephson stated that he'll be very surprised should the ex president stage a comeback to lead the NDC that is going to worsen in the period ahead, it's a taking a horse which is sick is used for another racing contest. If he comes back as the Flagbearer, he's going to go into election 2020 with a weakened and disunited party. Should he decide to stage a comeback to lead the party I'II be very surprised. It's very unlikely he'II come back.

Even with the disclosure of the circumstances behind the death of Prof. Milles as per the narrative of Mr C. Mills, the brother, NDC as a Party, to me, has become inhumane and unsympathetic and will let a whole President die just for political expediency, in terms of winning election by all considerable Odds.
EGO LOOSE PORTOOOOR .
Mahama is stubborn. Let him come back for a bigger disgrace. Then he will know that onye obiaa
I only hope that this so called Pollster is real and sincere in his assessment of this situation. In the run up to the 2016 elections, this same Pollster, mr. Ben Ephson predicted a win for John Dramani Mahama but look at how President Nana Addo beat him (JDM) like "father and son" and the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufu-Addo is on course to retiring youthful John Dramani Mahama from active politics. How sad!
listen to them Prez Mahama is coming back his time i'm voting for him not this crumb Akufo Addo government
Ben ypu are fake as mahama himself and ndc. Ndc can never resurrect again, its dead as rotren fish. You thought nana addo was going to loose so you can have your loud mouth around, the cup turned on you as well as your corrupt ndc.
WAOOO MR EPHSON ARE YOU ALIVE ? I THOUGHT YOU ARE NO MORE COMING INTO POLITICS ... YOU HAVE STARTED YOUR POLLS AND PREDICTIONS AGAIN .. BE WARN
we are waiting for him to come back. if this defeat is not enough for him the he shd come back for more. 2020 will be the worse year in his life and i hope he will survive it to see 2021. he will be defeated again by a 76 year old man and sent to political coma. if he said he is a man he shd come back. we dey.
Allow Mahama to come in 2020. He will write another political history as the young incumbent president to be totally humiliated by a 73 year-old man, and whipped again 4 years later by the same old man who will be 76 years old in 2020. What a glorious day that will be in December 2020. I hope to be alive by then to bear witness on that day. Let Mahama come again to meet his doomsday, his final alleluia. He must advise himself without prejudice. A word to the wise..........
Mahama...coming back to do what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
