“If you want to prevent vote-buying, it’s one of the ways of doing so because that’s one of the reasons why the vote must be secret" Flagbearer hopeful of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is still wondering why former President John Mahama wants to challenge him for the slot.
Professor Joshua Alabi believes the former President is a spent force and will be detrimental to the NDC’s quest to win the 2020 general elections.

Mahama: “There will be a system in place to identify the hardworking members and reward them accordingly” Former President John Dramani Mahama has assured delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the party will pay attention to hard work and loyalty when it wins the 2020 general elections.
Addressing NDC delegates in Dzolokpuita in the Ho West constituency on Monday to kick-start his weeklong flagbearership campaign tour of the Volta Region, Mahama said the next NDC administration will reward hard work and loyalty of party members.
