The National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has emphasized how crucial President John Dramani Mahama’s victory is to the party’s chances of winning elections in the future.
Nketiah emphasized the close connection between the NDC’s prospects in the 2028 elections and the President’s performance during his remarks at Mahama’s inauguration ceremony in Accra on Tuesday, January 7.
“Everything that will happen in 2028 on the front of NDC will depend largely on the performance of President John Dramani Mahama. If he succeeds it presents different opportunities. If he doesn’t succeed I am afraid it will get to a point where even if the flagbearership is handed to you on a silver platter you will be running away from it,” Nketiah stated.
To ensure the success of Mahama’s government, he urged party members to concentrate their energies on backing it.
“So our focus ought to be on making sure President Mahama succeeds so that anybody at all who replaces him as our candidate will have a solid foundation to ride on to victory,” he added.
Mr. Nketiah also counseled party members with aspirations for future politics to put the success of the current administration first.
“I am through this medium advising everybody within the party who is nursing ambition for the future to make sure that the action today doesn’t lead to the compromise or affect the prospects of President John Mahama succeeding.
“So the immediate focus ought to be that President Mahama must succeed in a very excellent manner so that any other person succeeding him can ride on his success,” he stated.
