Koku Anyidoho, former deputy secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), opposition party, blamed the party's loss in the 2016 general election to a campaign strategy largely run by people he calls "political parties". foreigners. "
According to him, about a million voters have not voted for the NDC because of the strategies and personalities that the party has used for its campaigns.
The former deputy secretary general who addressed some journalists stressed that the party should not use the same tactics in the 2020 elections.
"One million of our constituents did not vote for us in 2016. They have no understanding of the party's philosophy and history. We should never put our campaign in the hands of strangers again. We must never put the NDC campaign back to celebrities, "he said.
Nana Akufo-Addo defeated then-president John Mahama to become Ghana's president in the 2016 general election.
Akufo-Addo polled 53.9% of the total valid votes, while John Mahama managed 44.4%, which is even worse for a president in office.
The NDC subsequently set up a committee to probe its abysmal performance. The committee has already submitted its report to the party leaders.
Research results conducted by some academics from the Political Science Department of the University of Ghana have shown that President Nana Akufo-Addo would defeat former President John Dramani Mahama in case elections would be held again.
According to the results previously presented by the head of the Department of Political Science, Dr. Maame Gyekye-Jandoh, President Akufo-Addo led the poll with 49.3%, followed by John Mahama with 33.3%.
"For Nana Akufo-Addo, 49.3% said they would vote for him, 33.3% said they would vote for Mahama and 7.35 for Paa Kwesi Nduom", she declared.
She added that the elections were likely to run in the wake because, even if Akufo-Addo had taken the lead, he may not be able to cross the 50% plus one mark to be named president.
"These answers simply and unsurprisingly indicate that the two main parties are still the most favorite of voters and, secondly, that there could be another competition between President Akufo-Addo and former President Mahama during elections of 2020, "she added.
