Former Municipal Chief Executive of Ejisu-Juaben and leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh has said that the ruling New Patriotic Party will lose the seat of presidency to the NDC because God is on their side.

In an interview with Kwame Afrifa Mensah on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ show, he expressed that considering President Nana Addo’s age, it was obvious that the Almighty had blessed him enough and as such he need not vie for a second term as president.

“As God listens to prayers, there is no way God will allow Nana Addo to rule this country. Nana Addo is not thinking about the country. God has been good to Nana Addo looking at his age. At his age, what more does he want?

The God of Justice and the God of Abraham will actually prevail for the NDC. I am telling you that sanity will prevail. Akufo-Addo will lose the seat”.

In December 2020 Ghanaians will go to the polls to elect a president and members of parliament. The incumbent head of state and leader of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), President Nana Akufo-Addo, is seeking re-election.

He will take on former President John Dramani Mahama, who was elected as the candidate for the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC). This will mark the third time the two politicians have faced each other, with then-Vice President Mahama having defeated Akufo-Addo in 2012 and Akufo-Addo having beaten Mahama in 2016.
