No Need To Worship Mahama; NDC Is Big Enough To Make Any Flagbearer Win Elections – Stephen Ashitey
Executive Member of the Tema East branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Stephen Ashitey Adjei, has rubbished claims that the party stands no chance of winning an election without John Dramani Mahama.
According to him, the party has capable Presidential candidates; insisting that it does not thrive on Mahama’s reputation rather, the NDC is big enough and widely known to give any flagbearer victory in any election.
“The claim that we need Mahama in order to have a winnable campaign in 2020 is absolutely bereft of logic no matter the angle you look at it from. It is a bad symptom of blind hero-worship,” he wrote.
“If it is in terms of raising campaign funds to prosecute the campaign then we ought to know that what attracts money to campaigns like that of the NDC is the reputation of the party itself and not its leader – NDC is a party which has alternated in government before and is the only party with any worthwhile chance of winning against the NPP so investors will be drawn to it no matter the flagbearer.”
