I’ll support whoever leads NDC in 2020 – Mahama

Former President John Mahama has said he’s prepared to assist whoever becomes the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as the party readies itself for the 2020 elections.

He told his former appointees that he remains resolute in his quest to seek the best of interest for the NDC and will back the party’s future leader to ensure victory in the next general election.

“And I am saying that whoever leads the party, I’m a committed member, I’ll support that person to the hilt. And, so, going on air and blaming so so and so for this and that, I don’t think it helps the unity [of the party]. At this time we must be standing together.

“If you ride a lame horse into a race and you lose the race, your priority must be to cure the lameness of the horse and not about who’ll ride the horse again. You have to cure the horse and make sure it’s no longer lame. And once you have a fit, healthy horse, it will throw up who the jockey should be.

And so absolutely, I believe that the issue of leadership is based on the dynamics of the time. If we do our work well, we do good branch reorganization, bring it to the constituency level, to the regional level and have a strong, healthy party, the dynamics of the time will determine who should lead the party.”
