National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has highlighted the pivotal role President John Dramani Mahama’s performance will play in shaping the party’s electoral fortunes in 2028.
Speaking at Mahama’s inauguration ceremony in Accra on Tuesday, January 7, Mr. Nketiah underscored the direct link between the success of Mahama’s administration and the NDC’s chances in the next election cycle.
“Everything that will happen in 2028 on the front of the NDC will depend largely on the performance of President John Dramani Mahama,” he stated. “If he succeeds, it presents different opportunities. If he doesn’t succeed, I am afraid it will get to a point where even if the flagbearership is handed to you on a silver platter, you will be running away from it.”

Mr. Nketiah urged party members to rally behind Mahama’s administration to ensure its success, emphasising that the party’s collective efforts must focus on building a strong foundation for the future.
“Our focus ought to be on making sure President Mahama succeeds so that anybody at all who replaces him as our candidate will have a solid foundation to ride on to victory,” he said.
He further advised party members with future political ambitions to align their actions with the administration’s goals, warning against behaviours that could compromise the President’s success.
“I am through this medium advising everybody within the party who is nursing ambition for the future to make sure that the action today doesn’t lead to the compromise or affect the prospects of President John Mahama succeeding,” he stated.
Mr. Nketiah emphasised that Mahama’s success would not only solidify the NDC’s position but also pave the way for a smooth transition to the next flagbearer.
“The immediate focus ought to be that President Mahama must succeed in a very excellent manner so that any other person succeeding him can ride on his success,” he concluded.
