Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is on the edge of losing the December 7, presidential polls.
He claims the ‘tsunami’ that hit 41 of his Members of Parliament (MPs) is a foreshadow of the ruling party's utter defeat in the upcoming election. The NDC MP also sought to find out where the interest of the victorious NPP parliamentary candidates will lie in the upcoming December polls.
“So are the new candidates now going to campaign for themselves or the President to be retained? Trust me they can’t win the 2020 election,” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
“There is no chance for Nana Addo in 2020, he will lose. They [NPP] can never win the 2020 election,” he added.
Only 5 out of 41 defeated NPP MPs show up in Parliament
Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Mike Oquaye, has appealed to fallen New Patriotic Party (NPP) Members of Parliament not to abandon the work of Parliament following their defeat at the party’s primaries.
He said the outcome of the primaries is usual with politics and so they should not let the defeat affect their contributions to proceedings in the House.
Out of 41 MPs who lost their bid to continue to stay in Parliament on the ticket of the NPP only five showed up on Monday.
Speaking on the Floor of Parliament, Prof. Oquaye, urged the affected MPs to take the defeat in their stride and not lose focus.
Speaker Oquaye told the losing MPs “as far as matters of the House are concerned, you must act as statesmen and assume some circumspection in all we do, and in all that we say.”
He congratulated those who emerged winners and wished the losers well, encouraging them not to relent in their efforts at helping the government in national development.
“We are in a very competitive situation and in fact, one thing we should all realise is that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose,” he said.

may be you just woke from a dream or you may be Rockson-Nelson in wonderland like Alice. yousef you be fortunate say you day stronghold else the incompetence legacy would ahve affected you big time. you people for take you minds off governance at the executive level for some long time oooo joo!
Oh Dishonourable Rockson-Nelson Defeat Maker your name has made ndc defeat. NDC said Nana Addo could never be President but the incorruptible saviour is and will be the next as well because we are going to fly on Airbus with an incompetent pilot 👩✈️ through dumso to IMF anymore when babies with sharp teeth are on board and land us on Woyomey’s backyard. I know there could be Ford Expedition to take us by land but we will rather prefer bus branding driven by Ativor in the middle of berko power bribery crisis which indicates government official 1 so I decree like the Jews said never again to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
What really has changed for Ghanaians to go back to NDC? Do you in all honesty think NDC has a better team? Who are those? Imagine Sam George as Communication Minister with Felix Ofosu Kwakye as Deputy and Sammy Gyamfi as Information Minister? Can you immagine this? Is Ghana a cursed country? The last time NDC was given the chance to rule under the leadership of the respected Prof.Mills,he appointed a total newbie who would not have qualified to be a Rural Bank Branch Manager as a Deputy Finance Minister.President Mahama also appointed Okudjato Ablakwa a chap with no working experience to be a Deputy Minister of Education in Charge of Tertiary Education.Now compare Okudjato to the Deputy Minister of Education now in terms of experience and delivery.Do you think Ghanaians will like to go back and pay for School fees? Ghana is a developing country and she needs much more experience people to manage her. We cannot hand this country to these inexperience and "ma try ma kw3" would be Minister in the event of unlikely win of NDC.
This guy is dreaming....
If Mahama gets 40%, I will clap for him for 24 seconds. Not because Nana Addo is doing better, but primarily because He is very lazy Leader who instead of letting his brain work deeper to come with a policy that is cohesive and transformational, he is taking a lazy approach of pick and choose to talk about. Listing 18 or so promises to deliver is way below the level NPP has set. Any small mind can promise such a basic and simplistic approach. Your first time leading the party on your own record, vision and abilities, yet Mahama is clueless how to lead. Even in opposition, he is still incompetent and it shows in the quality of people he has surrounded himself with.
Do u think most people vote bcos they knw the candidate or what? Most people vote based on the party a particular candidate belongs, if u want change party in ur constituency nd see if u can win ur seat?
Based on what?in that your small dir*try brain. keep dreaming .so so annoying . how long will it take you to know those attitudes does not win votes. better get to the ground.
I think this guy is hallucinating thinking south Dayi is the whole of Ghana forgetting where the most votes from Ghana comes from. If Dayi alone represent Ghzna ndc woulx never be in opposition but thznk God gheir ways are not that of God so come Dec 17th ndc will weep like they mourning somebody ! Ghanaians have made up thdir mkbds to take that party from the books of history for the atrocities, stea*ling, creste loo*00t snd share, judgemdnt debts created by these people to damn Ghana aaah Ghanaians are not idi*ots and don't have short memory they are very descerning and can see good from bad so will never for heaven sake vote for the ndc in any shape or form to come and destroy Ghana ! Nana Addo will be the president of Ghana come 2021 and ndc flagbearer can never be president bmndver again in Ghana ! Ndc show a little respect for the decisions of Ghanaians and dont take them for granted !
