The much hyped leaked report of the Kwesi Botchwey Committee is nothing more or less fake news being deliberately circulated to dissuade former President John Dramani Mahama from offering himself as Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Over the last couple of days, various media houses have claimed that they have seen copies of a 67-page report blaming former President Mahama for the defeat of the NDC in the 2016 elections.
However, cheeks by "The Insight" have revealed that no such report exists.
NDC General Secretary Johnson Aseidu Nketia was emphatic that the leaders of the party have not received any such report from the Kwasi Botchwey Committee.
Some members of the Committee who spoke to "The Insight" also said that eh report of the Committee is not ready and therefore could not have been leaked.
The Kwasi Botchwey Committee was set up by the National Executive Committee of the party to find out why the party lost the 2016 elections.
So far, it has toured the country to listen to party leaders and cadres in addition to engaging officials and elders of the party.
There are very strong indications that former President Mahama will join the contest for the Presidential candidature of the NDC even though he has repeatedly said that he has not made up his mind.
Party stalwarts including Hannah Tetteh, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Okudzeto Ablakwa, former Deputy Minister of Education and Kofi Adams, National Organizer have all said that the former President is the best bet for the NDC for the 2020 elections.
