Even before the outgoing President of the land, John Dramani Mahama, decides either to contest or not to contest the 2020 general elections, some activists of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) have started rooting for Haruna Iddrisu as their next presidential candidate.
One of such activists is Yakubu Tony Aidoo, a Kumasi-based scrap dealer who is also a member of the NDC communication team for Asewase constituency.
Aidoo, a dyed-in-the-wool activist of the NDC, believes that the Tamale South constituency legislator is the surest bet for the umbrella family if President John Dramani Mahama decides not to contest the 2020 poll.
“He [Haruna Iddrisu] is a very good politician and I will root for him if President Mahama decides not to contest the next elections,” he told Kasapa FM Wednesday.
The scrap dealer was sharing his thoughts over the possible cause of NDC’s defeat in last Wednesday’s general elections and what the party needs to do going forward.
Commenting further, he said one of the key traits that makes Haruna Iddrisu stands tall among his peers is the way he easily mingles with people irrespective of their colour, tribe, religion and social status.
“He [Haruna Iddrisu] doesn’t care to sit you down and play. He is not like some other people I know in our party,” he argued.

Oh, our party is not attractive anymore. Haruna Iddrisu Presidential material? Tweaaaa. This is the time Paa Kwesi must be strategic, we shall join him
Utter ***barred word***.we're picking from either Ashanti,Greater Accra,Eastern,B.A or Western.After enjoying the goodies of Mahama,northners failed in voting massively for him.No chance for the three northern regions for now.Traitors.
Haruna Iddrisu? A future NDC presidential candidate? Then the NDC will be in opposition for a long time. NDC simply does not have the men.
Bringing Mahama again will spell disaster for him and the NDC. What is special about Mahama? Corruption? My goodness NDC is now finished completely or NDC is completely finished.
🤦🏾♀️
ndc is collapsed with humiliation!!!
Looks good. Haruna will be smart enough to surround himself with wise and experienced true party faithfuls rather than arrogant small boys who have nothing to offer. This defeat must be laid squarely at the doors of JM. He decided to ignore party structures and rather have his brothers and groups play their roles. JM 2020 is a non-starter. It won't fly
Unbelievable! What has the man achieved in real life besides predating public coffers including students' monies? Montie was right in saying NDC has Mahama only while NPP can bring 1000 women and men presidential material
ajeeeeiii NDC paa are u people serious at all, try Haruna and u wont get even 5 people at parliament and for presidential it will be worse than 2016
