They have all rallied their support behind Mr Mahama and believe he is the best candidate to lead the party.<\/p>\n<p>Yamoah Ponkoh who is a staunch supporter of the former President believes he has a lot of unfinished businesses he must come and complete<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething always speaks to me that, the former president didn\u2019t finish the good work the Lord ordained him to do for Ghanaians. I will keep speaking about this until Ghanaians vote him back power to continue his work\u201d. Mr Yamoah told Accra Fm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is God\u2019s chosen, he never completed his work. But some latter-day saints deceived him. That\u2019s the reason for his fall from the presidency\u201d.  He told Accra Fm in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, some people around the president schemed his downfall; he described them as \u2018lather day saints\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>A former finance minister of his party, NDC, Kweku Ricketts-Hagan has said the party needs a thorough overhaul from flagbearer to grassroots executive.<\/p>\n<p>But Mr Yamoah has replied him saying he (Hagan) must start with his region first.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 63 updated by: 63 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Friday, 22 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-22 Yamoah Ponkoh Yamoah Ponkoh, former Municipal Chief Executive of Ejisu in the Ashanti Region is calling on John Dramani Mahama to come back and contest for the presidency in 2020.
