Former Minister of Electricity, Mr. Kwabena Donkor
The former Minister of Power, Dr. Kwabena Donkor, said he could not say with certainty whether former president John Mahama, of whom he was minister, was the right person to lead the Democratic National Congress in the 2020 elections or no.
Mr. Mahama is fighting against a host of aspirants, including the former mayor of Kumasi Kojo Bonsu; the former Minister of Trade and Industry, Ekow Spio-Garbrah; Professor Joshua Alabi, former regional minister of Greater Accra; Sylvester Mensah, former CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA); former Central Region Minister Kweku Ricketts-Hagan; former badistant to Mr. Jerry John Rawlings, Goosie Tanoh; Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin; the lawyer Elikplim Agbemava; the businessman Nurudeen Iddrisu and the handyman Stephen Atubiga.
Asked Tuesday, November 27, 2018, he thought Mahama was the best choice for the party before the 2020 polls, Dr. Donkor told Accra-based Starr FM, "I do not know."
He continued, "I do not know because if we had won with him in 2020, he would have been the best choice. If we did not win, it was a bad choice.
According to him, even if Mr. Mahama seems to be the "best-selling NDC candidate on the market", "there is a difference of opinion within the NDC".
"There are people who think that he should be a kingmaker rather than a king. There are others who also think that he is the most marketable NDC candidate at the moment, "said Dr. Donkor.
At the end of 2015, Mr. Mahama promised Dr. Donkor to promise, in February of the same year, that he would resign from his position as energy minister if he could not manage to solve the situation of erratic power (dumsor) which was in its worst phase at the time.
In his speech on the state of the nation that year, Mr. Mahama told Parliament: "I will hold the Minister faithful to his publicly made commitment to resolve the electricity supply deficit of Here the end of this year. [2015]".
