John Mahama’s “Konongo Kaya” Posturing  Denies Haruna Iddrisu Chance To lead  NDC – Chairman Wontumi

New Patriotic Party’s Ashanti Regional Chairman,  Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has again noted that  the decision  by John Mahama to lead the NDC into the next elections is to “deliberately thwart the efforts of Haruna Iddrissu  to become the NDC’s Presidential candidate in future.”

Chairman Wontumi who was speaking on Wontumi TV/Radio in Kumasi on Monday said the former President’s  behaviour  amounts to “ jealousy “ as well as “greed.”

He told the host Oheneba Nana Asiedu  that the former President  is fully aware that he will lose the election but because he wants to thwart the efforts  and kill the  ambition of the Tamale South MP and Minority Leader, he has positioned himself as the proverbial “Konongo Kaya”   just to frustrate Hon. Haruna  Iddrissu.

Chairman Wontumi  who appears to have some sympathies for the astute Tamale politician one of the longest-serving MP’s in the country has cautioned  umpteenth time   that “with John Mahama as the flag bearer of the NDC in the December election, the NPP will win the polls one touch.”

According to him Ghanaian voters got fed up with the NDC’s administration with John Mahama as the leader, before they virtually booted him out of office in the 2016 election.

”The anger and anguish Ghanaian suffered under his regime are  still  fresh in their memory  yet John Mahama is upbeat and  behaves as if he is the wisest person within the ranks  of the NDC.  But he cannot hide his motive which is to claim  the rich Nyinahin bauxite concession and give it to his brother  which can never happen.”  Chairman Wontumi  stressed.”
