Veteran journalist Kweku Baako has urged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to present outgoing president, John Mahama as its presidential candidate in the 2020 general elections.
According to him, President Mahama stands the best chance of securing victory for the party in 2020, stressing “he is currently the most popular figure” in the NDC.
“John is very young and I think he will be the NDC’s surest bet in 2020. If he decides to enter the fray, there wouldn’t be anyone to stop him. “Seriously, he will make huge impact if he decides to contest again so the NDC should consider that,” Kwaku Baako said.
The editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper further commended President Mahama for graciously accepting what he termed as a “painful defeat’.
“Both candidates exhibited great sense of maturity before and after the results were officially announced. We were all proud to see that,” Mr Baako added.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, 72, was on Friday declared Ghana’s 5th President of the Fourth Republic after an impressive performance in the 2016 presidential poll.
He recorded 53.85% of the total valid votes cast as against 44.40 by President Mahama.

NDC lost because of mahama, i know NDC people who didnt vote because of mahama,it'll be their biggest doom to let him stand again. He had his chance, he cant come back
Mahama is a ***barred word*** therefore he doesn't matter anymore,he's done
mahama's political career is dead and buried. if an incumbent loses with a whooping 1,000,000 votes, he shouldn't attempt to come back. the whole ndc setup is dead and buried forever. they were too corrupt. I AM AN NPP MAN BUT IF THE PARTY GOES THE CORRUPTION WAY LIKE NDC, I WILL DUMP THEM. NANA ADDO ,I TRUST YOU WON'T DISAPPOINT ME, AMEN!!!!!
The Asante foooooo000l called Rev. Prophet Owusu Bempah what did he say? The last time I checked NDC has rule 8 year, and people know that in Ghana we change government every 8 years. So what is different now? the story is the same. However, God is not there if Ghana is there this Asante foo00000ls will the sacrificed sheep and goats to cures EC chairman and win okay. God does not exist. If God exist NPP will never come to power.Forget about this Asante thieffff called himself Rev. Prophet Owusu Bempah after stealingg from the poor people. Asante thiefffff.So is Akufo Addo who Killed that Fante guy who is the assistant to his runing mate? Asante Foooo0000l.

According to Rev. Prophet Owusu Bempah, God has rejected John Mahama. I can bet that if John Mahama will never be president again. Try. Hehehehe
Mahama left the wining team and chose the losing team Blame your own Kumasi mafia change of chairmanship
@Kojo Ndur 9 10: Stop this your ***barred word*** posts and grow up.Whats wrong with you ????
The NDC needs JJ now than ever b4. they want to win power again, they should go for JJ. As for mahama, he remains a ***barred word***.
Kweku, this is premature, and it may not be so easy for Mahama. JJ may be silent now, but you should know he has never been too enthusiastic about Mahama's leadership and any anti-Mahama forces in the NDC may coalesce around him. Nana Konadu can disband her NDP and make a return. After all if Obed and Bede Ziedeng were accepted back into the NDC why not her, especially as her husband and daughter are still firmly in the NDC. Then the team 'A' captain (Spio) may rear his head again. And then there is Sylveser Mensah former boss of the NHIS, who was reported to be preparing for 2020. What about Doe Adjaho who, it has been speculated may also be pushed by the Volta caucus. And then there are the Ahwoi brothers. I tell you it will not be easy for Mahama to stage a come back. When the blame game starts he is going to take a lot of it, especially the (alleged) corruption scandals around him personally and the conduct of his brother. Then there will be the constitutional questions. Having done one term, can come gain? And if he can, is he coming as a 'fresher" for two terms, is he allowed only one? That will be a hypothetical case for the lawyers and the Justices of the SC. Certainly there will be rough time for Mahama if he decides to stage a come back in 2020 or at anytime in the future.
