However, he was quick to add: “The right time will tell who should lead us.”

Asked whether Mahama must stage a return, Muntaka said: “It’s too early in the day.”

“Look, from the President [Mahama] to whoever, the names that are coming, they are all qualified but as to who will best lead us [NDC] into 2020 I perfectly agree with the President [Mahama] that let’s wait for the right time… I have a lot of faith in Allah that when the time comes he will give us the wisdom and understanding to pick the best person,” he added.

The issue about who to lead the opposition NDC in election 2020 has seen a lot of names pop up.

This follows their defeat in the 2016 election after former President John Mahama led the party into the contest.

Muntaka said that the party must reorganise from the grassroots before they consider who leads them into the next election.

Some party members are rooting for a Mahama comeback while others are calling for a fresh face.
