NDC is "shaking" because of the NPP’s early presidential election – Adom-Otchere

Host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has asserted that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is unsettled by the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) decision to hold its presidential primaries early—specifically on January 31, 2026.

Speaking on his show, Adom-Otchere claimed the NDC’s discomfort stems from the strategic advantage the NPP could gain with a confirmed candidate ahead of time.

“The NDC is worried because if any of these gentlemen emerge on 31 January as the NPP’s presidential candidate, he is the only one on the ballot in 2028. He’s the only one.

"The NDC doesn’t have anybody on the ballot yet,” he said.

He went further to suggest that President John Dramani Mahama is ineligible to contest the 2028 elections, citing confirmations from Supreme Court judges to Parliament.

“The Supreme Court judges have confirmed to Parliament that John Dramani Mahama cannot and is ineligible to contest the 2028 election. So, the NDC doesn’t have a candidate,” he added.
