A former chief of staff Mr. Julius Debrah has dismissed reports that he has thrown his weight behind Mr Alban Bagbin to become the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Flag bearer for the 2020 general elections.
There are reports on some websites that Mr. Debrah who’s a confidant of ex President Mahama has now ditched him and is backing the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament in the upcoming context.
But Mr. Debrah in a statement described the reports as untrue and must be disregarded by the public.

Re- Julius Debrah dumbs Mahama for Bagbin
My attention has been drawn to news reports of my supposed endorsement of Mr. Alban Bagbin to lead our great party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Let me state emphatically that, I, Julius Debrah, have at no time, either privately or publicly made any statements to suggest my support or endorsement of Mr. Bagbin.
It is unfortunate that a last-minute request by Mr. Bagbin after the one-week commemoration of my late mother to visit will be deliberately twisted for seeming political gain. He was warmly received just like all other dignitaries who came to mourn with my family.
The news reports are false, and I wish to humbly urge all members and well-wishers of the NDC who have called expressing concern and surprise to kindly ignore the said reports.
