He said Mr Mahama surrounded himself with inexperienced handlers and that caused their defeat.
Mr Kofi Okyere Agyekum expressing his views on the development said Mahama is the best person to be blamed for the defeat.
He said "It is the core responsibility of a president to check around him the kind of people he works with because he chose them himself and not even the leaders of the party did that for him.

"Frankly, looking around former President Mahama’s communicators and other key personalities who helped him on his daily dealings, you will bear with me that none of them were equipped enough to occupy such a position of which he should have been aware and act accordingly to save his party and fame."
Speaking on UTV, he noted that the NDC are very aware of the consequences that led to their loss but they have refused to face facts.
"The NDC needs to get a fresh candidate than wanting to throw a challenge of maintaining former President Mahama as their 2020 elections candidate," the NPP MP added.
Meanwhile, Dr Ransford Gyampo, a senior Lecturer at the Political Science Department, University of Ghana, Legon, has predicted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will be in perpetual opposition if the decision of some bigwigs to openly criticise the actions of the party and some persons within its ranks in the December elections is not checked.
