Builsa South MP, Clement Apaak has disclosed that some 80 Minority MPs on Wednesday visited the former President John Mahama to ‘force’ him contest NDC flag bearer when the time is due.
According to him, 80 lawmakers who believe in John Mahama, decided to visit him and make their intentions known to him that as a matter of necessity, he must lead the NDC in the next general elections in 2020.
He added that though the Parliamentarians met his absence, they were able to convey their message through his Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah.
He made this known in a radio interview on Cruz FM's Morning Show.
The ranking member of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Foreign Affairs added that “We told him [John Mahama] it was not negotiable and whether he likes it or not he will contest".
He also stated categorically that “. . . those of us who went believe that Mahama is the best person to lead us back into winning power . . . everyone is saying what they like and for us we say Mahama is the one we like . . . it was a private decision by those of us who believe in John Mahama and the fact that we expect him to come back and finish what he has started,"
He added that the 2nd deputy speaker Alban Kingsford Sumani Bagbin who is also the longest-serving lawmaker on the NDC side was not part of the 80 MPs who visited the office of the former President.
Per records, the minority NDC has 106 members of Parliament in 7th Parliament under the 4th republic.
