Former president John Dramani Mahama has been referred to severally as the presumptive presidential flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) going into the 2024 general elections.
This is ahead of May 13, 2023 presidential primaries that are expected to formally elect the NDC’s flagbearer for 2024.
Mahama, who was president between 2012 and 2017, is being challenged by two opponents to show what he will do differently if given the nod after losing two successive reelection bids in 2016 and 2020 to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central had harsh words for Mahama in a recent interview, describing his desire as borne of greed and that he is not an option given his previous record in office.
Agyapong who is an NPP flagbearer hopeful said on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana programme earlier this week: “If you compare the two governments, Akufo-Addo and Mahama, Mahama is not an alternative to Ghana because the man has been fortunate to succeed Atta Mills for two years.
“He has been fortunate to go one term which is four years, six years and we saw what happened in this country, so, what is he going to tell Ghanaians again. What is Mahama going to tell Ghanaians?” he asked.
On his part, Koku Anyidoho, a former deputy General Secretary of the NDC also asked Mahama to justify why he deserves to be returned in 2024.
The avowed Mahama critic tweeted his challenge on February 2, 2023.
“If John Mahama wants to be President again for only four years, let him tell us what he will do differently,” he tweeted.

What is Kennedy Agyapong saying. He’s one of the architect of the failed economy of Ghana under the current government. He went about touting that Ken Ofori Atta is best finance minister yet look at the current state of Ghana. Most people have forgotten when he (Kennedy Agyapong) was criticizing his own government on daily basis all because he was being sidelined and denied contracts, yet when he got what he wanted he reversed his stance and started singing praises. Not forgetting all the loose talks he has spewed in this country. I’m even surprised why people still trust this man he is the fake politician “selfish and self centered person, the least said about him the better. As for Koku Anyidoho, all his efforts to please his pay masters is not working. He needs to focus helping mother get back on her feet than following these lairs called politicians recking our economy for their own benefit. Peace out!
So simple a question to Mahama,this should be the campaign message against him.He’s the most fortunate Ghanaia leader yet he failed…being deputy minister,minister,MP,Vice President and then president yet he’s worst Ghanaian leader ever…put us into 4 yrs dumsor etc
