Nobody Will Contest Prez Mahama - Ofosu Ampofo

Second National Vice-Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has backed suggestions nobody should contest President John Mahama in the up-coming presidential primaries of the party.

He says any such move will be suicidal as it will send a bad signal and arm the opposition with a strong campaign message. National Executive Council of the NDC on Thursday agreed on a filing fee of Gh50,000 for presidential aspirants.

All card-bearing party members will vote to elect a presidential and parliamentary candidates on November 17. Mr. Ofosu Ampofo believes nobody will come out to contest the President in the interest of the party towards victory come 2016.
