Mahama should not contest election 2020 - Ben Ephson

According to him, the former president will be making the wrong move if he is to engage in such an exercise as he is likely to lead a divided front.

“If ex-President Mahama has political experience, with the in-fighting in the NDC that is going to worsen in the period ahead, it’s a taking a horse for racing and after losing, the same horse which is sick is used for another racing contest. If he comes back as the Flagbearer, he’s going to go into election 2020 with a weakened and disunited party. Should he decide to stage a comeback to lead the party I’ll be very surprised. It’s very unlikely he’ll come back,” he said on Accra-based Kasapa FM.

Some members of the NDC have in recent times been pointing accusing fingers at each other following the party’s defeat to the New Patriotic Party in the 2016 elections.

In spite of the Prof. Kwesi Botchway Committee investigating what led to the party's defeat, some members already feel that the former president, Mr Mahama should be blamed.

For instance, the NDC Member of Parliament for Yunyoo in the Northern Region, Joseph Bipoba Naabu, recently argued that the former President surrounded himself with inexperienced people who only misled him.

Others have, however, accused senior party officers for the defeat, claiming that they used campaign funds for their personal interests.
