Popular Ghanaian comedian and actor Kofi Adu also known as Agya Koo has said the defeat of President John Dramani Mahama was from his own people.
According to him, his communicators and campaign team instead of campaigning on a message to convince voters, rather devoted time in attacking and vilifying the president-elect Nana Akufo Addo.
The actor in an interview with Rainbow Radio said, “the NPP focused on their message of job creation, a resilient economy and the key policies of the party which they will deliver as government whereas the NDC attacked Nana Addo”.
He further alleged that some celebrities were given cars and other goodies yet failed to champion the course of President Mahama hence his defeat.
He also noted that the “NDC went on vote buying spree sharing sardines, rice, money and other items but we in the NPP went ahead to campaign on issues affecting Ghanaians and how Nana Addo will help resolve them.
According to Agya Koo, the outgoing president should blame his team for failing to execute the campaign for him and causing his defeat making him the only president in Ghana’s history under the Fourth Republic to have served for only a term.
President Mahama lost the presidential election to Nana Akufo-Addo on December 7, 2016 after voters went to the ballot to elect a new leader. He polled 4, 713, 227 votes representing 44.40% of the total valid votes cast.
Nana Addo the president-elect who will be sworn into office January 2017 polled 5, 716,026 votes representing 53.85%.

TO ME, NDC DEFEATED NDC. I WONDER WHICH POLITICAL SCIENTIST DESIGNED THEIR STRATEGY OF INSULTS, CHARACTER ASSASSINATION ESPECIALLY OF THE MAIN OPPOSITION LEADER, PLAIN LIES, HALF TRUTH, ETHNOCENTRIC COMMENTS LIKE NPP (AKANS) DO NOT LIKE EWES, NORTHERNERS AND GAS. IT IS NOT TRUE AND WAS JUST US*LESS. EVEN A CERTIFIED GRADUATE FROM PANTAN COULD SEE THAT THESE WERE NOT GOING TO WORK AND OVER FLOGGED POLITICAL STRATEGY. PEOPLE FROM GOVERNMENT AND THE PARTY AS A WHOLE WERE BUSY APPLYING THIS STRATEGY WHICH TO ME RECEIVED THE BLESSING OF THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE AS THE MAIN MAN AND HIS VICE WERE NOT LEFT OUT INSTEAD OF SIMPLY TELLING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY HAD ACHIEVED AND WHAT THE INTEND TO DO GIVEN THE MANDATE. IT IS A LESSON WELL LEARNT AND NO POLITICIAN SHOULD THINK THE VOTER IS JUST ANYTHING AND WILL BUY INTO THESE MISCHIEF.
I support that assertion %100. In fact the defeat is so glare and overwhelming that i just wants all to learn a lesson from it. In all our deeds, people are really watching. The winning party must also learn.
the cause of their defeat are hardships, arrogance and corruption.. all of u seem to forget about the hardships they have plunged the country into,why?
not only his communicators but he himself was involved. he was attacking nana everywhere he goes, playing the tribal politics instead of telling Ghanaians how he intends to turn things around. well the tribal politics won him 4 regions and he shd be happy for himself.
Kudos bro u and ur team are part of our victory and change now, NDC;s are now blaming each other, all they thought was Ghanaians have small memory so few days to election they will commision infrastructures and share goodies to buy their mind but Ghanaians are too wise for that cheap politics now. In their next world they will respect elders cos the results of rejection papa J is what they are facing now. Thaks
