Paul Adom Otchere, host of Good Evening Ghana show on Metro TV has dropped some revelations and details about the upcoming NDC primaries and the ‘competition’ between Johnson Asiedu Nketia, general secretary of the party and the incumbent Chairman, Ofosu Ampofo.
According to Paul Adom Otchere, both Asiedu Nketia and Ofosu Ampofo want to be the chairman of the party. According to him, Asiedu Nketia wants to be the chairman of the party because he wants to have power or control over the person who will succeed John Mahama as their flag bearer of the party after the 2024 elections.
Paul Adom Otchere explained this and revealed that John Mahama will surely be the flag bearer of the party, but the party will need a new flag bearer after the 2024 elections. This is because, John Mahama will not be contesting again whether he wins the 2024 elections or not.Â
For this reason, both Asiedu Nketia and Ofosu Ampofo want to be the Chairman of the party. He also added Asiedu Nketia wants to be the chairman so that Ofosu Ampofo’s ambition of becoming the chairman and also contest to be the flag bearer of the party will be not come to pass. According to Paul Adom Otchere, Chairman Ofosu Ampofo want to be Chairman of the party to enable him be the party’s flag bearer one day.
“Whoever becomes the party chairman will have a big role to play in choosing the next leader or in fact presenting himself as the next leader of the party. That is where the ‘fight’ is coming from between Asiedu Nketia and Ofosu Ampofo. So Asiedu Nketia is seeing that if I don’t challenge this man for the party chairman and become party chairman, the guy will be the leader of the party after that because Ofosu Ampofo has been nursing presidential ambitions since Accra Polytechnic days.”
‘So the fight is all about inheriting John Mahama’s throne‘ he stated

Johnson Asiedu Nketia is the current general secretary for the NDC. Ofosu Ampofo is also the current chairman for the party. Ofosu Ampofo has already declared his intention to contest again for the same position in the upcoming party primaries. Asiedu Nketia, on the other hand hasn’t declared his ambitions yet, but it is believed that he will compete with Ofosu Ampofo for the chairmanship position.
This, according to Paul Adom Otchere is a fight for John Mahama’s throne because the person who will win the position will have upper hand in contesting to be the flag bearer of the party one day. Both Asiedu Nketia and Chairman Ofosu Ampofo are popular and very loyal to their party. Both are experienced politicians who have also done a lot for their party. They can easily become the party’s flag bearer one day.
