John Dramani Mahama, a former president of Ghana, claims that he chose to submit his nomination to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) into the 2024 elections because he stands out among his rivals as the best candidate to defeat whoever the New Patriotic Party will put forth in that year’s elections.The former president claims that the NPP is utterly terrified by even the mention of his name.When speaking to party delegates in Somanya as part of his three-day visit of the Eastern Region, Mr. Mahama said that other candidates do not stand a chance against the NPP going into the 2024 elections, which is why he decided to run.
“I wouldn’t have contested If I was sure that my contenders for the NDC presidential slot could stand against the NPP and win the 2024 general elections, but we cannot take the risk. The only person the NPP fears amongst NDC members is me, John Dramani Mahama”.
“They [NPP] are unable to sleep when they hear my name. That’s why they have been calling for a fresh person. Are you the ones to tell us what we should do? It’s none of your business, I believe God has given us the power already,” he said.
