Founder of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Former President John Jerry Rawlings doubts the possibility of his own party unseating the incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2020 general elections.
He has predicted more than a term in office for the NPP under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, after admitting that Nana Addo is doing well in office.
Clearly impressed with the achievements of current administration, the former president however, believes there is more room for improvement.
Rawlings made this ‘shocking’ revelation when the CEO of EIB Network, Nathan Kwabena Anokye Adisi affectionately known as ‘Bola Ray’, called on him to officially invite him (Rawlings) to the launch of his (Bolaray) biography come September 21, 2017.
When asked if he thinks Nana Addo and his NPP-led government will only rule for a term in office and likely for the NDC to regain power in 2020, the ex-president replied; “These people think they can unseat this man [Akufo-Addo] in 2020...NPP? After only four years? No!"
Papa J as he is affectionately called in political circles, however added that “If they do well in enough… And so far it doesn’t look too bad”.
The former president, who ruled Ghana for close to two decades, also raised concerned about the environment and feels more could be done to address issues about that sector.

Rawlings should've prophet of God.he never lies,Nana Addo is doing marvelous job for this nation.... Ghanaians say NO to propaganda NDC and it Incompetent Mahama
Papa J sees nothing wrong with this corrupt NPP government.. He has lost his voice. His wife remote controls him now. So sad... They have lost respect and admiration because of greed... What goes around comes around.. Karma always has a way of showing itself..
Winning an election is not man's making but God's. However well meaning Ghanaians are praying God brings back JDM to continue his Good works.
rawlings is mad.
Papa Jay may have his faults and weakness as a former head of state he is no doubt speaking the gospel truth. All is not well but Nana Addo is making tremendous progress in the governance of the country and with time Ghana will rise above the poverty line. Let's give credit where it is due.
PAPA J AND NANA WILL MAKE YOU THE VISE FOR YOUR HEART TO REJOICE, WE ARE TIRED OF YOU NOW.
Rawlings speaks the truth but he erred during the PNDC era. His political groupings goofed and made him a killer and a scorn. Rawlings should have been a very good person but Kofi Awoonor, Kojo Tsikata, Justice Anan and Tsatsu Tsikata made him what he had been and nothing can wash that off.
I don't know why Mahama is desparetely moving heaven and hell for power. Has he finished chopping all he and his wife came to steal? Meanwhile his wife's name is included in the Special Prosecutors list
Asem beba dabi
Is it because his wife lead a delegation to South Africa. Shame unto him. He has lost respect in Ndc
