The outspoken lawyer has therefore described the former head of State as an unpatriotic and an undemocratic person should the latter insist in contesting NDC’s presidential primaries.
“If indeed he is patriotic, a nationalist and loves Ghana, then he should not contest again.’’ the human rights lawyer charged Mr. John Mahama in an interview monitored by MyNewsGh.com on Rainbow Radio.
“I am appealing to Mr Mahama to rescind his decision from contesting”, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw said.
Former President John Dramani Mahama has formally declared his intention to contest the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential primaries.
His letter of intent was presented to the NDC on his behalf by a delegation led by Former Ambassador, Daniel Ohene Agyekum at the NDC headquarters last Thursday in Accra.
Mr. Mahama joins other high profile candidates within the NDC including the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Sylvester Mensah, and Nadowli Kaleo MP, Alban Bagbin.
Other candidates are Dr. Ekwow Spio Garbrah; a former Trade and Industry Minister; Former Vice Chancellor of the University for Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), Prof. Joshua Alabi, and Cape Coast South MP Kweku Ricketts-Hagan.
The NDC has slated December 7, 2018, for the election of its flagbearer for the 2020 presidential election.
NDC Member of Parliament for the Asunafo South Constituency in the Brong Ahafo Region is urging party delegates to elect former President John Mahama as flagbearer so that he can complete his unfinished business.
