Check yourself if you want to challenge Mahama - Ofosu Ampofo

Despite opening nominations for presidential primaries, the NDC national executives are warning would-be aspirants to properly assess themselves before challenging the president.

First National Vice-Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, says the NDC is going into the 2016 general elections on the track record of the President.

There is, therefore, little expectation that the party will change the man better “positioned” ahead of the 2016 December elections.

“Facts are facts….If you are coming you have to check yourself,” he told Joy News’ Evans Mensah.

The party suffered “ëmbarassment” after a 45-year old polling station youth organizer, George Boateng, purportedly picked up presidential nomination forms to contest Mahama in the November 7 presidential primaries.

The party says the forms picked by George Boateng are not original because they do not bear the signature of the General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia.

Mr. Asiedu Nketia also maintains that nobody in the party has the power to give out presidential nomination forms except the General Secretary.

In a swift move, the party has sacked officials who gave George Boateng the forms.
