A team made of sympathisers of ex-president Mahama, have noted with grave concern the widening gap between policies that are well explained by the New Patriotic Party and that of the National Democratic Congress.
For this reason, the VICTORY FOR MAHAMA group have issued a statement informing the former president to ensure messages he delievers on campaign platforms are well rehearsed and understandable.
In a statement released by the group, they noted that "It is no more a secret that elections in Ghana now are won on how well you define your policies and programmes to the electorate and explaining with all tenacity how these policies could be executed but, not consistently counter attacking the policies of your opponent."
They also explained that "In the wake of these, it's important we in the NDC goes into the 2020 elections with some attractive polices to brighten our prospects. So, in this regard, we call on ex President Mahama to review his campaign strategies by spelling out clearly his policies and programmes instead of stressing on reviewing policies made by the NPP, because that can not win us power in 2020."
Full statement below...
MAHAMA'S CAMPAIGN: LET'S FIND A MESSAGE
As sympathisers of Ex President Mahama and the NDC, we have followed the campaign of Mr. Mahama closely and we have made these important observations which we believe they should be seriously considered.
It is sad seeing ex President Mahama campaigns on only the counter opinions of the policies and programmes of the NPP, same strategy we used in the 2016 elections and it backfired.
It is no more a secret that elections in Ghana now are won on how well you define your policies and programmes to the electorate and explaining with all tenacity how these policies could be executed but, not consistently counter attacking the policies of your opponent. Citing some few examples, then Candidate Akufo Addo in 2016 won the elections clearly on how consistent he was with his free SHS policy, One Village One Dam, One District One Factory etc. policies. A fact we in the NDC must frankly admit and do same.
In the wake of these, it's important we in the NDC goes into the 2020 elections with some attractive polices to brighten our prospects. So, in this regard, we call on ex President Mahama to review his campaign strategies by spelling out clearly his policies and programmes instead of stressing on reviewing policies made by the NPP, because that can not win us power in 2020.
Also, it's an undenable fact that, the free SHS policy introduced by the NPP government has been widely accepted as a good policy. But, our checks on the grounds reveal to us that, a lot of people think 'Mr. Mahama is against the free SHS policy and will collapse the policy on his second coming'. A notion that can affect our chances, so to refute this claim, we advice that you clearly explain your stands on that matter to the well meaning Ghanaians.
Also, during the 2016 elections, the NPP tagged you as incompetent, an unfortunate tag which some Ghanaians thought you rightfully deserved it. To refute this claim too, let's put up intriguing campaign messages and policies to tell the electorate you are directly the opposite of what you were or are being tagged.
For now, these are our few concerns and it is very important you address these issues passionately and comprehensively.
We wish you the best of luck in your quest to lead the NDC again.
...Signed...
Musah A. Alhassan
President, Victory for Mahama.

Mahama has lost the plot.
Incompetent John Ford Mahama killed Prof Atta Mills...... Rawlings and Tsikata masterminded the killing of the 3 judges. John Ford must first win his party's primaries first and stop campaigning as if there is a national elections tomorrow.... NDC has no campaign message.
Central Region is no go area for NDC. Who killed Prez Atta-Mills.
SANK, ndc is not an attractive party for the NPP to send anyone ,for what ? Ghanaians have rejected you and they did that in a humiliating way so what has changed for the NPP to take that headache? The simple thing is ndc hasn't got the human resources and all your aspiring candidates are not attractive. Trust me. 2020 with John mahama leading the ndc will be so disastrous that your party will disintegrate. Ndc is not a party attractive to most Ghanaians because of where it is coming from and unfortunately ,your candidates are unable to shy away from that. One mistake John mahama did and continue to do is reminding the Ghanaian people where the ndc came from and those were the dark days of Ghana and he is behaving like a soldier which annoy Ghanaians very much, listen. during the dark days those affected most are the majority in Ghana and we shall make sure this John mahama and his so called revolution and his 40 Ali Baba thi*ves never come back to power. You people are joking! Have the ndc taking censors to know their real population before you talk of coming back and have your party attracted new members? Listen, NPP are not sitting down watching you to throw dust into the air unconcerned for you to pass the back door to power never it will never happen again. Every Ghanaian voter ballot will be counted and no foreign bodies, the research is still on going and no amount of ndc madn*ss will bring you back. Ghanaians are for good policies, good social interventions and good governance with respect and good manners. John mahama is not the right person, he us unco*uth, uncu*ltured and very primitive a disgrace to our highest office. Even in power he disgraced Ghana with his infamous mahama paper, being sent to sit in the gallery in Scotland parliament, his dirty utterances and disrespect to Ghanaians. In opposition he was chased away from Sierra Leone because of electoral malpractice and he did the same in Kenya why is he not going to Kenya because he and the president were friends and he think what he has mastered in rigging elections can still be done again in Ghana then he should have a second thought, because Ghanaians are way ahead of him if that is why he is turning and jumping to lead the ndc ,he will have the shock of his life! he is not smarter than My President and my Vice President! hahahahahahahaha! he should stop behaving like Kwaku Annanse!
THIS GUY IS A NPP MOLE BUT NOT A NDC OR JOHN MAHAMA SUPPORTER. WHAT NPP SUPPORTERS DO NOT KNOW AND ARE TICKLING THEMSELVES IS THAT NDC HAS BECOME WISE AND WILD AWAKE SUCH THAT NPP CANNOT MORE PLANT MOLES IN NDC.
So you know you don't have that so called attractive message and yet your incompetent president was all over the place attacking the competent Akufo-Addo. The fact is that you do not have any message than to say you will improve FREE SHS something, you kicked against. Your only dream is infrastructure which you boast of more than you actually achieve in reality.
This free advise you are offering Mahama shows how incompetent he is. Mahama used a strategy that backfired and he has not learnt any lessons. He is still going about bragging about his few infrastructure projects and calling his opponents liars. He did same and lost and I am happy he is continuing on that same juncture because I don't want the 'incompetent one'to come back and cause more damage
STOP WASTING OUR TIME.WHO IN HIS RIGHT STATE OF MIND WANTS MAHAMA TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN
JOHN MAHAMA IS CAMPAIGNING IN THE NDC PRIMARIES AS IF HE HAD ALREADY WON THE PRIMARIES AND NOW CAMPAIGNING FOR THE NATIONAL ELECTIONS FOR PRESIDENTIAL. TELL MAHAMA HE HAS NOT YET WON THE NDC PRIMARIES FOR THE FLAG-BEARERSHIP, AND SO HE MUST STOP CAMPAIGNING AS IF HE IS THE NDC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. THERE IS TOO MUCH CONCENTRATION ON THE NATIONAL PRESIDENTIAL SLOT THAN ON THE NDC PRIMARIES. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, AND YOU WILL SEE HIS CONTESTANTS WINNING THE PRIMARIES TO BECOME NDC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. MAHAMA'S ATTACKS ON THE NPP IS UNCALLED FOR, AT LEAST FOR NOW.
See this Hungry NDC boys, They have started again to form CH0P, CH0P, Groups to CH0P John Mahama's monies again.
