He said the party has outdoored a committee to investigate the party’s defeat in the 2016 presidential and parliamentary elections and not ready to elect a flagbearer.

According to him, the party have not reached the stage to talk about a presidential candidate.

He said, "We haven’t reached the stage where we will select a flag bearer for the NDC. We went into an election and lost and so we are looking into what led to our defeat in the elections and prepare ourselves for the next elections. When we are done then we will think of who leads the NDC into the next elections as flagbearer."

The family of former President Mahama said that they will impress upon him not to contest the Presidency in 2020.
