A former minister of communications in the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, Dr Edward Omane Boamah has discounted rumors of possible plans to contest as flagbearer of the party in 2020.
He has also described comments made by Dr Owusu Mensah of the Political Science Department of the University Ghana in that respect as intellectually deficient and procured.
The political scientist on Kumasi-based Abusua Fm said the former communications minister is not ripped politically to contest the highest office of the country on the ticket of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr Owusu Mensah admonished the former Communications Minister to plan of contesting and becoming the country’s President in the future.
He remarked that the former Minister of Local Government Samuel Ofosu Ampofo will be the best candidate to lead the NDC in 2020.
‘If I look at the list and calibre of people in the NDC, people who have experience and public trust in NDC, Ofosu Ampofo should be one of the crucial candidate for them.
I don’t want to comment so much on Omane Boamah because I don’t think he is qualified. I am not talking about age, but intellectually he is not qualified to be a President of Ghana.
There are so many candidates in line who they can look at their advantages and disadvantages, but Omane Boamah has not gotten to that level,’ he pointed out.
But in response to the comments, he said on his facebool wall;
Good morning Dr Owusu Mensah of the Political Science Department (UG). I am not interested in contesting for ‘President in 2020’. The reason is far from your procured and intellectually deficient submission. Read more…and help yourself…

Oh but omane what is this? Take it easy because the Dr was just saying the truth. I think he was more charitable in his words because I personally do not think you have any chance of becoming a president of this country even in 2032
Omane is angry with the good Dr. I think he should take the advice in good faith and prepare as he seem to be interested in running for president some day.
even in opposition they are still arrogant
Who will give you? Can you ever win an assemblyman elections?? Do you have a constituency and how did the party fared there???? Arrogant brat.
@Alex I couldn't agree more with you. He has no personality to become the head of state and commander in chief. God permitting in 2024 it will be "the battle of the north" @Bawumia vrs @lddissu
Facts are factual but comments are free. You haven't got the charm and character I mean the x factor to lead a party. You have no confidence in your delivery when you talk or make speeches.
Herr...massa, DO NOT TRY kraa. Not only in 2020, but EVER! You! For Ghana here...smh
