Former La Dadekotopon Member of Parliament (MP), Nii Amassah Namoale has called on former President John Dramani Mahama to consider rescinding his decision to contest the 2020 polls since he would not win the party’s primaries.
Nii Amasah Namoale said he has already laced his boots and would beat ‘anyone who dare contest’ him in the next primaries of the party.
“I will beat anyone who would contest with me including John Mahama…,” he said on Accra-based Peace FM’s Programme, Kokrokoo.
The former Legislator in January 2017 declared his readiness to lead the party into the 2020 elections.
“2020 Nii Amssah Namoale would contest for the presidency if Professor Joshua Alabi is not contesting…,” he said.
Nii Amassah Namoale however stated that he would rescind his decision to contest for the presidency if Professor Joshua Alabi decides contest to become the flagbearer of the NDC.
Nii Amassah Namoale’s lost the La Dadekotopon seat in the December 2016 to former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Accra Hearts of Oak, Vincent Sowah Odotei.
He polled 38,504 votes as against the former football administrator’s 40,126 votes. Namoale is famous for his utterances on radio some of which are declared controversial.
He further said that he never saw his inability to retain the La Dadekotopon seat as a barrier to him winning the presidential primaries of the school.
The former President is also rumoured to be getting ready to contest the party’s primaries and possibly lead the NDC to the 2020 elections.
