Prof. Alabi was rejecting claims by surrogates of Mr Mahama that he is the most popular person in the NDC.
According to him, the former president, who has said he will run for president again, will not get 10 percent should he decide to run as an independent candidate.
“All things being equal, if he (Mr. Mahama) should go as an independent candidate, he cannot even secure 10% of the total votes,” he asserted on Emark FM in Koforidua as part of his campaign tour of the Eastern Region.
