Ignore fake 2020 statement

Former President John Dramani Mahama has asked Ghanaians to ignore a statement circulating on social media announcing his decision to contest the primaries of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), to lead the party in 2020.

The purported statement indicated that the former president had declared his intent to contest the NDC’s presidential primaries.

[contextly_sidebar id=”g3qdIn5cflFDs8we2xVLoXb4BrBXpimW”] But Mr. Mahama in a Facebook post on Wednesday, said the statement was fake.

The NDC has slated December 7, 2018, to elect a presidential candidate to lead it into the next general election.

The party lost to the New Patriotic Party in the 2016 elections truncating the second term bid of John Mahama.

Although about six persons of the NDC have officially joined the presidential race, Mr. Mahama is yet to make his presidential intent known.

‘Mahama will lose a thousand times’ – Owusu Bempah

Controversial preacher,Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah, has admonished the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to choose former president John Dramani Mahama as its presidential candidate for the 2020 polls.

According to him, the NDC would lose the elections if the party presents John Mahama as the presidential candidate.

“I hear people saying that President John Mahama could come again. In the spiritual realm, it is not so. Someone can say NDC can win the election but to me, not with former president John Mahama. If they bring Mahama thousand times, he will lose a thousand times. Mahama can’t be president again in Ghana,” he insisted.
