Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says Ex-President John Dramani Mahama remains the best candidate for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), come 2020.
According to him, there is no member of the NDC who is more qualified to lead the party into next year's general elections.
Mr. Baako cancelled out some bigwigs whose names have popped up for the flagbearership position of the party.
The Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, and Ekow Spio-Garbrah, former Minister for Trade and Industry among other names, have been mentioned as probable candidates for the party's flagbearership.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's Kokrokoo, Kweku Baako noted that the party needs a candidate with "requisite credentials to lead the NDC into 2020” but Ex-President John Mahama remains competitive of all the NDC potential aspirants.
"First of all, he is the immediate past President. He was a Vice President. He led them into an election in 2012. They won the election, forget about the court case. At the end of the day, if there were doubts about his victory, when they sent it to court; the court validated the declaration of the EC. So, as far as I’m concerned, he won it.
“He led them to another battle in 2016 and lost in a very abysmal way but when the NDC are coming in 2020 – their campaign, even now when they attack the Akufo-Addo administration, most of the things they use to attack are things they did either under Atta Mills or John Mahama or both. What I’m saying is the track record. The track record that they will bring on the political platform to campaign more or less is intrinsically linked to John Mahama. It will be a stronger factor…Unless John Mahama decides not to run,” he said.
Mr. Baako was however quick to add that the NDC will not win the elections but to him, it is better for them to present a qualified candidate to lead the party than to present a non-marketable person.

Its you these so-called seasoned journalists and the media houses who make Ghanaians focus on politics for 4 years. Its ***barred word*** and appalling. Elections have just ended and instead of discussing development, all you do is jump from one radio station to another discussing ***barred word*** Ghanaian politics where the winners do virtually nothing but to steal and enrich themselves. I am very disappointed in our journalists. Its a shame!
KWEKU AS FOR THIS COMMENT COME AGAIN. YOU HAVE PLOTTED AGAINST PRESIDENT MAHAMAH AND THE NDC FOR GOD KNOWS WHEN AND YOU ARE ON RECOED TO HAVE SAID THAT IT IS YOUR DESIRE TO SEE THE NDC IN OPOSITION FOR 16 YEARS SO THAT YOU WILL HELP YOUR PEOPLE TO LOOT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. IF YOU SERIUOS, THEN I I WOULD RATHER ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK THE NDC TO BRING THEIR INCOMPETRNT FORMAL PRESIDENT FOR HIM TO LOOSE AGAIN WHILES YOU LOOT MORE MONEY AND GET RICHER.
Don't you know kweku is a bias as for me I dnt like him and Kwesi pratt. wht are you people talking ve you forgotten Nana Lost 2008 and 2012 elections. even as am talking to you right now Ghanaians regret for voting for the dwarf. except you NPP followers how are praising cough man
NDC equals massisve ***barred word***, corruption, lies & oncompetence that is why they should lie low for some years for people to forgive their excessive wrong doings. Woyome, bus branding, Gyda, Sada etc. 2038 will be fine hopefully they have been able to clean their act.

HAHAHAHA, KWAKWAKWAKWA!!!! SO NDC STILL THINKS THEY HAVE A CHANCE HUH???? THESE GUYS ARE JOKERS PAA OO. NANA WILL WIN IN 2020, BAWUMIA WILL WIN IN 2024 AND 2028, ALAN WILL WIN IN 2032 AND 2036, NANA AKOMEA WILL WIN IN 2040 AND 2044 AND THE LIST GOES ON. GHANA WILL NOT FALL INTO WRONG HANDS AGAIN. NDC IS B.A.D OMEN TO GHANA WITH BAD INTENTIONS. BY 2020, FREE SHS WILL WORKING IN FULL FORCE, NO SHS STUDENT WOULD LIKE TO PAY FEES AND THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL SO THEY'LL VOTE FOR NANA ADDO. BY 2020 EVERY DISTRICT WOULD HAVE HAD THEIR FACTORIES RUNNING EFFICIENTLY AND NO WORKER IN THOSE DISTRICTS WOULD LIKE TO VOTE NDC AND GET SACKED OR MADE REDUNDANT. NDC IS EXPIRED AND FINISHED!!!! GOD BLESS NANA ADDO, GOD BLESS NPP, GOD BLESS GHANA.
Ndc will be stronger in 2020. Kwaku should give us a break.
EEEI! SINCE NPP HAVEN'T DOLED ANY 51.2 MILLION GHANA CEDIS TO ANY NPP MEMBER, NDC HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING 2020. GHANAIANS DON' WANT ANY PARTY THAT HAS DESTROYED THE NHIS, LIKE NDC, TO COME AND WORSEN IT. OUR LIVES DEPEND ON THE NHIS,KPA!!!
