The managing editor for the Daily Democrat newspaper and member of the opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC communication team, Emmanuel Opare Djan has added his voice to the upcoming NPP primaries and has revealed that nobody in the NPP would contest the presidential primaries with Nana Addo because the economy is not favourable and people can’t afford the cost involved.

According to the experienced analyst, the people are broke to contend with Nana Addo, contrary to the view that his achievements are enormous to beat any contender.

In a studio discussion on the susubiribi morning show on Radio 1 100.7fm on Tuesday, 28th January 2020, Opare Djan told the host Nana Kwabena Addo that he would be surprised if anyone contests the president.

“Nana I agree with the Greater Accra regional secretary that no one would contest Nana Addo. Yes no one will contest him, not on any grounds but because the economy is so hard that people can’t afford the cost involved. The economy is so hard that only the president can meet the monetary requirements of NPP presidential aspirants”- Opare Djan said.

Early on, Nii Odarlai Parker, Greater Accra regional secretary for NPP had revealed in a phone interview with Nana Kwabena Addo that the unprecedented achievements of Prez Akufo-Addo will not give grounds for any party member to contest him. Adding that it’s only the ‘insane’ that would attempt to contest him.

The president of the republic of Ghana, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, picked his nomination forms through his special advisor Victor Newman. He picked the forms for ₵20,000 and he’s expected to submit with a filing fee of ₵200,000.00.

NPP opens nomination of parliamentary and presidential primaries from 20th January 2020 to 20th February 2020.
