NDC must remain in opposition for 16 years - Kweku Baako

“NDC must stay in opposition for 16 years; its therapy and they need it” he said.

According to him, the party performed poorly in the 2016 election and therefore needs more time for restructuring.

“NDC must stay in opposition for 16 years; its therapy and they need it” he said on Accra-based Peace FM Wednesday.

His comments come on the back of reports that some members of the umbrella family are jostling for the presidential slot for the 2020 election.

Names that have come up include the former Majority leader and current 2nd deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, retired Rector of the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA), Joshua Alabi, as well as, the former Minister of Trade and Industry, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah.

Others are the former Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho and former National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) CEO, Sylvester Mensah and Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu.

But Kweku Baako believes that former president John Mahama would be the ideal candidate for the party as any other person would campaign on the track-record of Mr Mahama.

He, nevertheless, argued that the NDC will still lose the 2020 general elections irrespective of their choice of candidate.
