Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide has vowed to work tirelessly to keep the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in opposition.<\/p>\n
According to Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr. the political party which performed shambolically in the 2016 general elections needs to stay in opposition to restructure the NDC.<\/p>\n
\u201cNDC must stay in opposition for 16 years; its therapy and they need it\u201d he stated on Peace FM\u2019s morning show Kokrokoo Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Kweku Baako made the comment while discussing the rush for the flagbearership slot by some leading members of the NDC even before former President John Mahama declares his intention to contest.<\/p>\n
Former Majority leader and current 2nd deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, retired Rector of the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA), Joshua Alabi, former Minister of Trade and Industry, Ekwow Spio-Garbrah; former Speaker of Parliament, Edward Doe Adjaho and former National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) CEO, Sylvester Mensah and Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu are said to be busily setting up offices and criss-crossing the country to shore up their support bases ahead of the crucial NDC congress, likely coming off next year.<\/p>\n
But Kweku Baako maintains that their struggle will be an exercise in futility should former President Mahama decides to run.<\/p>\n
He indicated that anyone the NDC chooses will campaign based on the track-record of Mr. Mahama thus remains the party\u2019s sure bet.<\/p>\n
This notwithstanding, the veteran journalist said the NDC will still lose the 2020 general elections irrespective of the candidate they bring.<\/p>\n
Kweku Baako said, \u201cI will work against the NDC coming back to power\u201d.<\/p>\n
