I'll contest NDC flagbearership if Mahama does not – Victor Smith

According to Victor Smith, he’ll offer himself as a courageous leader who will make the laws of Ghana work

According to him, he’ll offer himself as a courageous leader who will make the laws of Ghana work, a leadership quality he asserts the country currently lacks.

Victor Smith who has publicly declared his support for the former President as NDC’s surest bet for the 2020 election speaking on Accra-based Asempa FM, said he’ll be the perfect replacement for Mahama if he declines to contest.

"If President Mahama says he won’t run again, I may suggest something else. If he says he won't go … then I'll offer myself.

"I’ve gone through enough and I don’t see the commitment from certain people, I don’t see the kind of drive I’m looking for. Not because of NDC per say but for Ghana, becuase we can’t be making the same mistakes otherwise that upheaval we talked about one day will face us," he added.

Names that have come up so far include the former Trade Minister, Dr Ekwow Spio Garbrah, former majority Leader, Alban Bagbin, current Minority leader and MP for Tamale South Haruna Iddrisu, retired Vice-Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Professor Joshua Alabi and former NHIS boss, Sylvester Mensah.
