Find a formidable running mate or quit – Political Scientist tells Mahama
According to Mohammed Abass, a political scientist, former President John Mahama will either have to depart the scene as flagbearer or bring in a powerful running mate for the opposition National Democratic Congress to win the 2024 election.
Mr. Abass said the current Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) had it right on the fresh candidate for the NDC ahead of the 2019 general election in an interview with Joshua Kodjo Mensah on an Accra-based media.
“They are right, revitalization is needed if you look at what the NDC has gone through and the last elections that we had, you will clearly see that there is the need for revitalization. I have said that somebody like Mahama, we have seen all of Mahama. Looking at his political career being in the Presidency, being in opposition campaigning and then unable to make it. So I was suggesting that if he is going to be the candidate again then the revitalization must come from another angle. In this particular case I am looking at them having a very vibrant running mate,” the Political Scientist disclosed.
