Forget 2024 If You Maintain Opoku-Agyemang As Running Mate – Ephson to Mahama
Renowned pollster Ben Ephson has said that former President John Mahama should not contemplate winning the 2024 general elections if he maintains his 2020 running mate, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang.
Ephson said Mahama would have to repackage himself and form a strong alliance by choosing any of the National Democratic Congress’s presidential contenders as his running mate.
Speaking to Beatrice Adu on The Big Bulletin on Tuesday (19 April), Ephson said: “Mahama would have to repackage himself because a Mahama with the same running mate is going to be difficult [to win 2024 general elections]. He may have to form an alliance or perhaps, pick one of the [NDC presidential contenders] as his running mate.
“Because where Mahama is, he has the advantage of being marketed already. And Mahama with all his body language looks like retaining his running mate for 2020 [general elections]. If he does, I think he should forget 2024.”
