Following
the Supreme Court verdict, which saw John Dramani Mahama being declared
a “validly elected” President, several commentaries have come up with
predominant ones being who leads the New Patriotic Party, come 2016.
General
Secretary of the party, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, expressed his
unflinching support for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, 2012 Presidential
candidate of the party, to contest the Presidential seat for the third
time.
He stressed that even if Nana Addo is in “wheel chair”, the party will still push him forward for the Presidential battle.
This
notwithstanding, the Managing Editor of the Daily Searchlight, Ken
Kuranchie says it is almost impossible for the opposition New Patriotic
Party to clinch victory, come 2016, without a miracle.
Speaking
on Oman FM on Monday, he called on the party members to pray for a
miracle or else they may bow out of the 2016 general elections as a
result of the relentless attitude of the ruling National Democratic
Congress (NDC).
According to him, it will be difficult for the
NPP to come to power because the government, under the leadership of
President Mahama, will contrive to retain power in 2016.
“If the
Mahama government could clinch victory just within 40 days, what then
can’t they do when they have three years?” he questioned, stressing that
“if a miracle does not happen” the NPP “will lose 2016.”
