A member of the ruling New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Communication team, Yaw Adomako Baafi has advised his party leadership and members not to glory in their position on the 2020 election ballot paper.

The Electoral Commission (EC) on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 held an event for the qualified political parties contesting the December general elections to select the position of their Presidential candidates on the ballot paper for the upcoming elections.

The candidates include President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), former President John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Christian Kwabena Andrews (Ghana Union Movement), Brigitte Akosua Dzogbenuku (Progressive Peoples Party), Akua Donkor (Ghana Freedom Party), Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (National Democratic Party), Hassan Ayariga (All People’s Congress), Ivor Kobina Greenstreet (Convention People’s Party), Henry Herbert Lartey (Great Consolidated People’s Party), Percival Kofi Akpaloo (Liberal Party Ghana), David Asibi Ayindenaba Apasera (People’s National Congress) and an independent candidate, Alfred Kwame Asiedu Walker.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) picked the first position on the ballot paper while the largest opposition National Democratic Congress represented by the party's deputy General Secretary, Mr. Peter Boamah Otokunor selected number two (2) position for his party.

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Adomako Baafi urged the party to focus on marketing the President Nana Akufo-Addo's achievements.

He cautioned the party not to be complacent with their number 1 position on the ballot paper saying ''the first position of the NPP and second position of the NDC is an indication from God that NPP shouldn't be complacent. The number 2 means if the person chasing you hasn't stopped, you don't stop running''.
