A leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has downplayed media reports about the purported secret meeting by Former President John Dramani Mahama on his intention to contest again for the presidency.
Lawyer George Loh said “former President Mahama can hold a meeting everywhere in the country even in space”. Media reports suggested that former President Mahama’s intention of contesting the presidency again on the ticket of the NDC in 2020 is gathering momentum, even though it is shrouded in secrecy.
Reports say the ex-president went to the Ashanti Region capital, Kumasi, in a private jet last Sunday to hold “secret” meetings with several top guns in the NDC about his intention of running for the presidency again.
The venue of the said meeting, reportedly held Sunday evening, remains a mystery as Mr. Mahama’s camp doesn’t want their potential opponents in the party to monitor their actions and strategies.
Lawyer Loh told TV3’s New Day hosted by Bright Nana Amfo on Tuesday, May 16 that if the meeting was indeed held as being reported, “it shows he [Mahama] is sensitive to the party and about the things that are happening in the party”.
He added that “the fact that we lost the election 2016 doesn’t make him a bad person to contest again. He can make decision for himself. It is his right to contest or not to contest again”.
The former North Dayi MP said “a lot of people are holding meetings in the party and I’m confidence that come 2020, NDC will make a formidable team”.

@2AR,THIS IS A SITTING PRESIDENT WHO WAS BEATEN MERCILESSLY THAT HE COULDN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME,AND SAY WHAT?
OF COURSE ,JM'S STEALING WERE UNPRESIDENTED.
Fear And Panic Grips NPP About JM coming back. JM has set a standard you can never go closer. What has become Free SHS now scholarship scheme. God brought Nana and NPP to disgrace them and it's already started
But who told these people Ghanaians want them back? Anyway,it is a political party that will definitely contest the 2020 elections but they will lose potooo. I can't think far that a party in power could lose this much and still think they can come back with the same old stuff and they will tell you this humiliated president by Ghanaians is their last bet and NPP are afraid of a man they've beaten to pulp. Ghanaians will be the most ***barred word*** of all African states if they allow this corrupt and arrogant ndc to come back but I know they kidding themselves. Hwe! They think Ghanaians are fo*ls to bring back Koku Anyidoho,Stan Dogbe,Omane Boamah, Fred Agbenyo, Kwaku Boahen,Solomon Nkansah etc that will be over the dead bodies of Ghanaians. We haven't forgotten about the Ghanaians have short memory,the baloney, it doesn't make sense,***barred word*** syndrome, Yentie obiaa, I don't use the money for chenchenga we the good people of Ghana remember them all. Ndc,ndc to come back very soon walahi not in Ghana with this arrogance and insults on our leaders? Look at what they've allowed Bature to write about the founder Flt Lt JJ Rawlings and his wife and they think they don't have admirers in the ndc especially Rawlings and you think they will take it lightly with you? You people are beating about the ***barred word*** not until ndc goes back to the owners ndc will never see the day mark it and he is also not prepared to be part of this crop of ndc. Anyway ! NPP are enjoying their victory and their Free SHS which is coming on live,they are still paying ndc debts they left the country,the one district one factory is coming on and they are making sure most of their promises are fulfilled in their first term and the rest during the 2nd term,then the subsequent terms they will roll out a lot more of their policies and interventions so ndc stay in opposition forever and watch good governance. You want power for what? You don't have policy nothing to help the people so why do you want to come back or you think politics is like football? When you score at home and go away to lose hahahaha! Ndc don't understand politics
Prez Mahama must rest nd let fresh legs come else de ndc will do worst. Amisssah Arthur or any other candidate will do better than JM. No better record to boast of or de old track(infrastucture,idey beee or what again ).poor performance by JM Will make it easier for even de least candidate to win than Mr Mahama
