I’ll Win 2020 Election For NDC – Bagbin

A flagbearer hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ,Alban Bagbin has said he will surely by virtue of his political experience over the period will win the 2020 general election for the party.

According to the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, he will pull a big surprise victory in the biggest opposition party’s flag bearer election in January 2019 to enable him win the country’s general election.

Speaking at a press conference today, Monday, 24 December 2018, Mr Bagbin  said he has massive grassroots support, adding that with the right leadership, the NDC will win back power from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2020 elections.

“My record as a Member of Parliament and as a leader in parliament for 18 good years and my leadership role in the party, the records speak for itself.

“Because of my human-centred principles, policies and actions, I have a lot of core supporters all over the country. There are many areas that I haven’t touched yet, but my support base in those areas are solid. And, so, I don’t need to tell you but the shock will be produced by my good self.” – he said.

Mr Bagbin who is in competition with former president John Dramani Mahama, Professor Joshua Alabi, Mr Goosie Tanoh, Mr Sylvester Mensah, and Nurudeen Iddrisu further noted that: “Yes, it is true that the branch, the constituency and the regional base of our party is weak and it is weak because of the performance of the leaders, which has made the members rather disappointed and frustrated and some have even moved to the area of despair and, so, the Dr Kwesi Botchwey Committee managed to do a good job by bringing all these to the attention of the party, which the party is working at.

“So, as we go around campaigning, members still express anguish, frustration, but I must say the base is ready, the ground is fertile and with the right leadership, 2020 is for us to take”.
