National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has emphasized that President John Mahama’s success in his current administration is key to the party’s chances of winning the 2028 elections.
Speaking at Mahama’s inauguration on Tuesday January 7, Nketiah stressed that fulfilling the promises made to Ghanaians is vital for the NDC’s future success.
Mr. Nketiah warned that if Mahama’s administration fails, it could have severe consequences for the party’s prospects in 2028.
He advised party members with future ambitions to prioritize supporting Mahama’s success, rather than pursuing their own interests to ensure a solid foundation for future victories.
“Everything that will happen in 2028 on the front of NDC will depend largely on the performance of President John Dramani Mahama. If he succeeds it presents different opportunities. If he doesn’t succeed I am afraid it will get to a point where even if the flagbearership is handed to you on a silver platter you will be running away from it,” Nketiah stated.
“So our focus ought to be on making sure President Mahama succeeds so that anybody at all who replaces him as our candidate will have a solid foundation to ride on to victory,” he added.
“I am through this medium advising everybody within the party who is nursing ambition for the future to make sure that the action today doesn’t lead to the compromise or affect the prospects of President John Mahama succeeding.
“So the immediate focus ought to be that President Mahama must succeed in a very excellent manner so that any other person succeeding him can ride on his success.”
