NDC’s Kwetey Slams Calls for Mahama’s 3rd Term Bid
The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey, has dismissed calls for former President John Mahama to contest for a third term as “sycophantic”. Kwetey emphasized that the party’s constitution clearly outlines the process for selecting a flagbearer.
Kwetey’s comments come in response to some supporters urging Mahama to run again in the 2024 elections. The NDC General Secretary stressed that the party will adhere to its internal processes and not be swayed by external pressures.
The NDC has a clear rule that a person who has served as president for two terms is not eligible to contest again. Kwetey’s statement is seen as a reaffirmation of the party’s commitment to democratic principles.
While some supporters see Mahama as the best candidate for the NDC, Kwetey’s comments suggest the party will explore other options. The NDC has yet to announce its flagbearer for the 2024 elections.
Kwetey’s remarks have sparked a debate within the NDC, with some members calling for Mahama to reconsider his position. However, the General Secretary remains firm on the party’s stance.
The 2024 elections are shaping up to be a significant test for the NDC, with several contenders vying for the party’s top spot.
