Former President John Mahama says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has a good chance of winning the upcoming general elections in 2020 considering the poor performance of the NPP and the many unfulfilled promises.
According to him, the failure of the NPP government to fulfill its ‘juicy’ promises ahead of the 2016 elections was an indication that, the government lacks thought-through policies to ameliorate the plight of Ghanaians.
“We have a good chance to win 2020 elections because of the method in which the NPP came into power. They used a lot of sweet words, they promised heaven and I don’t think they thought through the promises because some of the promises were weird and absurd”.
Addressing delegates of the NDC in the Boga East Constituency in the Upper East Region as part of his nationwide campaign tour to lead the party in the 2020 presidential elections, John Mahama said, the NDC can win the 2020 elections.
“When we were in power, small and medium industries were setup in the districts, but One District One Factory sounds nice to the ear, but not only that, One Village One Dam and we say what kind of dam?, the reality comes, they dig dugouts. Under GSOP we dug dugouts across most districts of the country.”
“The worst one is $1m per each constituency and Bolga East was expecting $2m but for 2017 and 2018 no constituency has received such monies. My worry is that, it shakes the fate of Ghanaians in our democracy, it makes Ghanaians believe that politicians are just liars and will not fulfill their promises”.
Mr. Mahama was optimistic that, the NDC would win 2020 with the right leadership and appealed to delegates to vote overwhelmingly for him to lead the party for victory in 2020.
“So I appeal to you, to vote massively for John Mahama because a massive vote will send a strong signal to the NPP that the NDC is solidly behind me and we are taking the fight to them to capture power from the NPP.”

Mr Ex-president, the earlier you stop dreaming of owning the sea, the better for you. It will certainly not be you even if NDC will win 2020 or 2024
JUST AS YOU WERE CRUISING TO VICTORY IN DECEMBER 2016!
John Ford. You like money ooo!
If poor performance means growing GDP from 3.4 to 8.7; ending DUMSOR; restoring nurses and teacher trainee allowances; implementing free SHS etc. then we love the poor performance. Mahama is such an embarrassment! And he is still being paid as a ex-president? Gosh!
If Mahama will not listen to Lordina, I am to Anita DesuZa to advice Mahama to save the little dignity he has left because 2020 he will be finished completely in disgrace. NDC will shrink into size in terms of support base and their destiny will be similar to the current CPP. Mark it on the walls.
PUT THIS ***barred word*** IN JAIL.
We will see. Instead of your brother concentrating on a few lines of business he can run, he has contracted huge loans from several banks and end up collapsing the banks. He spends his monies on people like Afua Schwarznegger while owing the banks. Prez Mahama before you became the head of state, you used to work for Japan Embassy in Ghana. How much by way of wealth did you have. I even want you to contest and spend all your wealth on the campaign. I will be happy to see you lose all your ill gotten wealth.
Mahaha NEVER AGAIN!!!
JM hmmm, I didn't know you to be such a confused personality but I am trying to synchronized how I had perceived you before and now after your presidency. But I think I can link your flaggabastically bemused self on screen when you conceded defeat after the 2016 elections and your present plenty talking. you're still not out of your daze. no be you say the people are longing for your comeback so how can your coming back be by GOOD CHANCE? I thought it was a foregone agenda abi?.
This corrupt John Ford is in a dreamland.... You have no policies for the electorate. By the way you must first elect a presidential candidate first before talking of winning an election...... You have no message for the voters stop talking about winning elections.
