Former president John Mahama during the 2016 campaign

Ninety-four NDC Members of Parliament have reaffirmed their support for former President John Dramani Mahama to lead the party into the 2020 elections.

It follows the submission of a letter on behalf of the former President by Ambassador Ohene Agyekum to executives of the NDC, announcing his intention to join the party’s flagbearership race. Twelve MPs abstained.

Mahama who will be in the race with Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, Ekow Spio-Garbrah and a host of others, said in a video moments after the letter was presented that a comeback will provide him with an opportunity to “right the wrong of the past.”

In a press release announcing their unflinching backing to the former president, the MPs said: “Our Constituents had one simple message – President Mahama should avail Himself to the people of Ghana to salvage the sinking ship under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Today He has heeded the clarion call of the people and we are grateful.”

“Our support is volitional and of our free will. We have pledged to contribute our time, expertise and personal resource to campaign for His Excellency to ensure a resounding victory in the Presidential primaries and galvanize the entire party around His candidature to wrestle power from the clumsy and inept government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” they added in the press release signed by Fiifi Fiavi Franklin Kwetey (MP, Ketu South), Inusah Abdulai Fuseini (MP, Tamale Central), Magnus Kofi Amoatey (MP, Yilo Krobo) and Dominic Akuritinga Ayine (MP, Bolgatanga East).

The rests are; Joseph Yieleh Chireh (MP, Wa West), Edwin Nii lante Vanderpuye (MP, Odododiodioo), Samson Ahi (MP, Bodi), Eric Opoku (MP, Asunafo South), Cassiel Ato Forson (MP, Ajumako/Enyan/Esiam) and Muhaammed Bawah Braimah (MP, Ejura Sekyedumase).
