Former Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Joseph Yamin has said former President John Mahama wont be forgiven if he fails to led the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in election 2020.
According to him, he is the party’s best bet to unseat the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2020 general elections.
“We won’t allow John Mahama to stay in the country if he refuses to contest because he is our last hope. We won’t forgive him if he fails to do so. I want him to put his critics to shame and contest because he is the only one to deliver Ghanaians from this misery” he said on Accra based Okay FM.
Some members of NDC have been rooting for the return of the former President who was defeated by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during the 2016 general elections.
Recently, ten regional Chairmen of the opposition NDC have called on former President John Dramani Mahama to consider the request of the teeming supporters of the party to contest the 2020 elections.
They have also asked Mr Mahama to as a matter of urgency embark on a ‘Thank you’ tour across the country by expressing his appreciation to NDC members for supporting him during his tenure over the years.
In support, Joseph Yamin said the former President is their last hope for the NDC to come back to power.
In his view, Ghanaians are eager to him [Mahama] back to continue his unfinished business.
“We are not going into the 2020 elections to try; we are going into the elections to win because we have what it takes to win back power and John Mahama is the best bet” he added.
