Whoever will be elected flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will have to be an appointee of the Mahama administration who has performed well in office, Executive Director of the Global InfoAnalytics, Mussah Dankwah, has said.
He says that a good servant of the government is most likely to be elected.
This is aside from having a good message
“The performance of ministers will determine the outcome of the NDC flagbearer race,” Mussa Dankwah said.
“If you serve well, you will be deemed to be a good servant. There are people in government who are fighting against the same government; not everybody in the government is a team player, so the delegates will look at the people in general,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, May 23.
The NDC is, however, yet to open nominations for the flagbearer contest ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He says the delegates he has been speaking to have expressed the view that the person to be elected as flagbearer must be seen to be supporting the Mahama administration to deliver.
Anything short of that would not be accepted by the delegates, he said.
“You have to be seen to be supporting the government to be elected NDC Flagbearer, Mussa Dankwah said.
“For John Mahama and his party, they have to perform in office. If they fail to perform in office, they will not have a chance in the 2028 elections,” he said.
Mussah Dankwah further dismissed criticisms that his outfit is not conducting any poll but a popular contest.
He made the point that they always get it right with their polls.
“A lot of things have been said about our polls, but we always get it right. We know what we are looking for, we know it will not suit everybody,” he said.
