Only The Use Of The Military, Conduct Of EC Can Stop NDC From Winning 2024 Elections– Sam Pee Yalley
Ghana's former Ambassador to India, Sam Pee Yalley, has said that the candidature of ex-President John Dramani Mahama will not affect the fortunes of the NDC in the 2024 elections as intimated by an EIU report. Sam Pee Yalley said that the prediction of the EIU (Economic Intelligence Unit) failed to account for the real factors that may lead to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) losing the upcoming general elections. “… what will change this election is the conduct of the Electoral Commission, to conduct a Free, Fee and Transparent Election, that is a critical part. What will change the electoral fortunes in this country is the use of the military to attack voters. However, the EIU noted that the NDC should revitalize its prospects with a flagbearer other than former President John Dramani Mahama.

‘You’ll not be allowed to host e-programme’ – Afia Pokuaa told
“One of the e-programmes, ‘Egyaso Gyaso’, must be hosted from the studio and I will not allow it to be a virtual show. “Who should be in the studio to host programmes and you be in another jurisdiction to host your programme virtually, do you think we are stupid?” he questioned. “If you know you are the host of ‘Egyaso Gyaso’ please think about it; you were not employed to host e-programme. If you want to host any e-programme, we have Peace FM, Neat FM and UTV but not on Okay FM because every programme must be hosted in the studio; in fact, we host ‘feeli feeli’ programmes on Okay FM. Afia Pokuaa, the host of ‘Egyaso Gyaso’, a socio-political talk show on Okay FM, according to sources, has been out of the jurisdiction but her show has been airing despite her absence.

According to him, with most graduates yearning for corporate jobs after school, their salaries after tax deductions are nothing to write home about. He added that, however, this is not the case for artisans such as plumbers, and masons, who are not even respected by the graduates. Speaking to some tertiary students in Koforidua, at the ICGC Jesus Temple, he compared the salary of his niece, who works at an Agric bank, to that of his driver.

Godfred Dame is becoming dangerous to the justice delivery system – Abraham Amaliba
According to him, the call from the AG and his continuous support for the justices of the Supreme Court especially poses a threat to the justice delivery system of the country. Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story programme on April 21, Amaliba explained, “I totally disagree with the Attorney-General. He is [rather] increasingly becoming a danger to our justice delivery system. His conduct and comment and always coming to the defence of the judiciary will give the perception that the Executive and the Judiciary are ‘friends’ and it is rather more dangerous. This is often worsened in commentary on so-called political cases where some lawyers perceive the outcome to have far-reaching consequences for the objectives of political parties they sympathize with.”

Mahama Should Consider One Of His 'Rivals' As Running Mate - Ben Ephson
This is the view of veteran journalist and pollster, Ben Ephson, who has joined calls for Mahama's 2020 running mate, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to be dropped. According to Ephson, in an interview on Joy News, the former president must consider picking any of his political contenders for the flagbearership slot as his running mate. “Mahama would have to repackage himself because a Mahama with the same running mate is going to be difficult [to win 2024 general elections]. He may have to form an alliance or perhaps, pick one of the [NDC presidential contenders] as his running mate. And Mahama with all his body language looks like he is retaining his running mate for 2020 [general elections].

NDC Is Bigger Than Any Individual – Andy Kankam
Editor of the Informer Newspaper, Andy Kankam, says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should take into serious consideration the Economic Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) report, called on the party to change its leadership to win election 2024. The EIU report said the NDC has a higher prospect of winning the 2024 elections but that could elude them if former President John Dramani Mahama is maintained as flag bearer. Leadership will definitely change hands because the NDC is a strong party and not an individual. Portions of the EIU report read;“The next parliamentary and presidential elections are due in 2024. “The former president, John Mahama, is reportedly considering running again, but we expect the opposition NDC to try to revitalise its prospects with a fresh candidate.

I Believe Mahama Should Be Changed As Flagbearer – Former NDC National Organiser
Former National Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Yaw Boateng Gyan, has stated his strong conviction that former President John Dramani Mahama should be dropped as a candidate for the party in the 2024 elections. Former President Mahama, having lost re-election in 2016, contested the presidency again in 2020 as flagbearer of the NDC but lost again. Ahead of the 2024 elections, John Dramani Mahama is once again tipped as the likely presidential candidate of the NDC which is aiming for a comeback to power after what will be an eight-year opposition term. Asked by the host if he will advise for a change in the party’s flagbearer, Yaw Boateng Gyan said “that is what my mind tells me. In 2016 we loaded up and His Excellency John Dramani Mahama manned the steering wheel.
