Managing Editor of the Dispatch and Pollster, Mr. Ben Ephson has asked former President, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, not to go for Professor Naana Opoku-Agyemang again as his running mate if only he wants to win the 2024 presidential race.
According to Mr. Ephson, Mahama needs to pick a new running mate that could change the dynamics of things, or else the former president might taste another unbearable defeat in the next general elections.
“Mahama can do a few things which could change the EIU findings. If maybe he will take a new running mate that could change the dynamics.” He said during an interview with TV3.
He further noted that Mr. Mahama suffered defeat in the 2020 general elections due to his failure to state clearly his position on the implementation of the free senior high school program.
In his view, a lot of people were not sure of Mr. Mahama’s plan for the free SHS, hence “the heavy defeat, the over 500,000 votes margin he suffered.”
“One thing is clear which cost Mahama dearly in 2020 was his inability to articulate his views on the free SHS. Many people felt that when Mahama wins he is going to tamper with the free SHS, he may even cancel it and that cost Mahama a lot,” he stated.
