“Honestly, if I look at all the names coming up, I still don’t see any of them more competitive. Spio Garbrah, Goosie Tanoh and my own friend from Dadekotopon, who says he is prepared to only defer to Joshua Alabi… none of them is as competitive as John Mahama in my candid opinion,” he told Samson Lardy Anyenini, host of Newsfile on Joy FM.

Asked if Joshua Alabi isn’t a strong candidate to lead the NDC, he said: “it would be unfair for me to comment …but if you force me, none of them is as competitive as John Mahama in my candid opinion.”

About 17 people are said to be interested in leading the party for the 2020 elections. Among the 17, the only person who has made his intentions know is Nii Amasah Namoale, former MP for Dadekpotopon.
