The Member of Parliament for Yunyoo constituency in the Northern region, Joseph Bipoba Naabu has said former President John Mahama should be replaced because he is not the only presidential material to contest on the ticket of the NDC.

He said Mahama if re-elected to lead the party into the 2020 elections will be a mess than he did in the 2016 elections.

Supporters of the NDC have called on former president Mahama to consider running for the 2020 elections.

Speaking on Accra-based Kasapa FM, he said "He [Mahama] could be the best material but is he the only person in NDC who could be the best material?... Yes of course! haven’t you seen Spio Garbrah is going round? didn’t you  hear that Namaole claims that he’s also contesting? so there are people coming seriously."

The lawmaker added that "I don’t know whether he may come back or not. He hasn’t told me and I’ve not discussed that with him. But I’m only saying that for now he should hold on."
