Former National Communications Officer of Ghana’s major opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Solomon Nkansah, has said that former President John Mahama has taken the party for granted.
According to him, the ex-president, who led the NDC to two straight electoral failures in the 2016 and 2020 elections, has not learnt any lessons from the setbacks and is continuing along the same route, which will lead to the party’s defeat in the forthcoming 2024 election.
On Wednesday’s Ghana Kasa show on Kasapa 102.5FM/Agoo TV, Solomon Nkansah accused Mr. Mahama of taking the NDC party for granted and urged the former leader to explain to party members what his goals for the party are.
“Mr. Mahama has not changed; he’s taken the party for granted, believing that at all cost, the party members will vote for him to become flagbearer. Who told him that? When he had the opportunity to speak to party members during his campaign launch last week, he spoke to party members one percent and spoke to Ghanaians ninety-nine percent. It was a diversion because he didn’t have a message for NDC members.
He added: “If it’s John Mahama who’ll emerge as flagbearer, then the party has a lot of work to do to win the 2024 election. This is because the grassroots members of the NDC have no hope and confidence in what will become of them if the party wins power in 2024.
“Mahama has no plan to build a strong NDC party; that’s why he’s unable to speak out because if he does, we’ll hold him to account. Branch and constituency executives should not vote for somebody who does not show them how he plans to grow the party.”
