Former Defence minister, Benjamin Kubour has backed former President John Dramani Mahama to lead the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) into any elections in the country.
According to him, the NDC 2020 elections flagbearer is tried and tested, however, if anybody within the party wishes to contest him then it must be allowed.
“I think John is tried and tested. He had not only ministerial and parliamentary experience but vice presidential experience, so I think he is our best step forward, but having said that, I will not begrudge anybody in the party who decides to also put in a pitch as flagbearer; that is my attitude,” he said on Citi TV’s Face to Face program.
He continued: “So, I never attacked anybody who contested Mahama, I will never do a thing like that. [I think he is our best bet into any election] definitely. If you were to look at the odds in opposition and if you were to see the showing [in 2020 polls], you will see that we rebounced very effectively after the crushing defeat in 2016.”
