Veteran journalist Kweku Baako has urged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to present outgoing president, John Mahama as its presidential candidate in the 2020 general elections.
According to him, President Mahama stands the best chance of securing victory for the party in 2020, stressing “he is currently the most popular figure” in the NDC.
“John is very young and I think he will be the NDC’s surest bet in 2020. If he decides to enter the fray, there wouldn’t be anyone to stop him. “Seriously, he will make huge impact if he decides to contest again so the NDC should consider that,” Kwaku Baako said.
The editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper further commended President Mahama for graciously accepting what he termed as a “painful defeat’.
“Both candidates exhibited great sense of maturity before and after the results were officially announced. We were all proud to see that,” Mr Baako added.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, 72, was on Friday declared Ghana’s 5th President of the Fourth Republic after an impressive performance in the 2016 presidential poll.
He recorded 53.85% of the total valid votes cast as against 44.40 by President Mahama.

NDC will also go for change in 2020. No more mahama, Spio will represent the NDC
I dont think it will be good idea for Mahama to contest again. If he does he will ruine the least credibility and image he has now. After all, once a president always a president. He shoudld sit home and enjoy presidential privilages. Thos ebabies with sharp teeth will cause him to loose again and again if he comes. but am told NDC constitution doesnt allow him to contest for presidential candidates once he has been for once a president. I wonder why kwaku Baako is not aware of this.
HOW CAN JON MAHAMA COME BACK AGAIN TO CONTEST NANA ADDO IN 2020 !!!!!!; KWEKU BAAKO IS JUST TICKLING AND HAVING A GOOD LAUGH AT THESE NDC EDIOTIC FULLS ; IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN .
I share the same view with you. NDC doesn't need Mahama to contest nana addo again. They a more charismatic person. JJ should take over the party immediately.
All ndc needs is to allow jj to restructure the party. This is the time for the party to be handed over to more intelligent and wise personalities. John Mahama is fairly and averagely a smart person, but he lacks application of wisdom. Though tolerant, he allowed so much impunity and laughed them off and that contributed to his lost. The campaign team he selected were not vibrant and most importantly they were not delivering and convincing message to Ghanaians. Raising hand and doing usain bolt was seen as arrogance. Most ndc adverts infuriated people than they were patronized. The president was also not quite charismatic because he couldn't charge the crowd like JJ would or even afriyie ankraah would do. By the way who is the ndc youth organizer. He might extremely lazy. Look at how awuku took hold of the youth for npp. I never saw ndc organizer speaking at any of ndc rallies, and that is inacceptable. Jerry take back your party as soon as possible and cleanse it of all these jokers.
Mahama has no leadership skills. If he can't win with all the incumbency advantages what makes you think he can do so from opposition. in any case he is not the only person with prez ambitions. We live to see if ndc would leave it for him alone to contest like he wanted us to believe when he accused the npp of using people (Bawumia) and dumping them
Hahaha Kwaku Baako knows mahama is history,he just saying this because he is his friend and don't want hurt his feelings.The guy painted ghana with corruption and indiscipline and the ordinary Ghanaian don't want to see him anytime soon,besides prez Rawlings will love to rebuild his party from scratch.
Mahama and Spio Gabrah will snatch the seat since the old man cannot build even two factories.
ABA KWEKU. DO YOU THINK ALL IN NDC LIKE CORRUPTION? MANY IN NDC ALSO HATE CORRUPTION. MARTIN AMIDU AND OTHERS WERE ALL NDC. THEY MAY FIGHT TO GET THEIR PARTY BACK. THEY WILL NEVER AGREE TO ANY ATTEMPT OF MAHAMA TO COME BACK. A LOT OF THING WOULD COME OUT IN THE PARTY AND YOU SEE KWEKU. NOW THE SPIRIT OF MILLS IS GOING TO HAUNT THEM WELL WELL.
KWEKU BAAKO WHAT DO YOU GUYS KNOW? IS MAHAMA THE ONLY GUY IN TOWN? MAHAMA IS HISTORY.
