“Without JAN, Zanetor and the Vice President, Who Else Can NDC Present?” — Janet Nabla Raises Alarm

The Leader of the People’s National Party (PNP), Janet Asana Nabla, has raised concerns about the future presidential leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), suggesting that the party could face a succession crisis.

In a post on her official Facebook page on Sunday, October 25, 2026, Nabla questioned who the NDC could present as its next presidential candidate if key figures such as Johnson Asiedu Nketia (JAN), Dr. Zanetor Rawlings and Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang were not considered.

She expressed concern about the availability of other individuals who could lead the governing party into a future presidential election and win the confidence of Ghanaians.

In her post, Nabla asked, “Without Asiedu Nketia, Zanetor Rawlings and the Vice President, who else can the NDC present as a presidential candidate without Ghanaians saying they prefer Ataa Ayi?”

Her statement suggests that the NDC needs to carefully consider its future leadership and identify credible individuals who can maintain public confidence in the party.

Nabla’s reference to Ataa Ayi was metaphorical. Ataa Ayi was a notorious Ghanaian criminal, and his name is sometimes used in public discussions as a metaphor for corrupt individuals. In this context, her comment appears to question whether the NDC has other potential presidential candidates who would be widely accepted by Ghanaians as credible leaders.

The PNP leader concluded her post by declaring that the succession crisis within the NDC was real.

Her comments come amid discussions about political leadership, the future direction of the governing party and the individuals who could emerge as possible presidential candidates in the coming years.

Although Nabla raised questions about the party’s potential candidates, her post did not identify any specific individuals she believes could fill the leadership gap.

Her remarks are likely to contribute to further debate about the NDC’s succession plans, the credibility of its future candidates and the importance of presenting a leader capable of winning public trust.
