Speaking on Joy FM's news analysis programme "Newsfiles" Saturday, the new Managing Director of Intercity State Transport Company said the former president will easily see off any challenge if he decides to contest because he has a strong support at the grassroot.
“I still believe that if the incumbent John Mahama is to contest he will be the man to beat especially if they are going to have four or five contestants,” he told show host Samson Lardy Anyenini.
“This is because the incumbent has an organisation on the ground by reason of the fact that he is the incumbent. All these District Chief Executives who are stalwarts of the party at the district level and the constituency level, the Ministers of State [he appointed], that is an organisation. His wall chest is bigger. You are starting from scratch to build up structures on the ground to prosecute your campaign but he [Mahama] already has them so he has the advantage.”

He said the NDC has been demoralised following its heaviest defeat at the polls reason as many as 17 people are expressing interest in the party's presidential slot.
All of us must sympathise with the NDC for what they are going through. I mean here is a party that has suffered the biggest electoral defeat in the fourth republic. Both parliamentary and presidential, the defeat they suffered has never happened before in the 4th republic so the party is clearly in shock. Very deep shock. Especially when they were the incumbent and the incumbent taking part in the elections,” he said on Joy FM current affairs show, “Newsfile.”
He added: “This kind of defeat will really demoralised everybody. They are in a very demoralised state and they are in a state of shock. We must sympathise with them what they are going through at the movement."
