Former President John Dramani Mahama has said he takes full responsibility for the party's humiliating defeat in the 2016 general elections.
The former President said this when he addressed this year’s 31st December Revolution commemoration in Ho, Volta Regional capital.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) will rise again to win political power in 2020.

He added that the party has learnt lessons in the 2016 general elections, which is shaping it to win power back in 2020.


“I take the ultimate responsibility for our loss in 2016. A lot of the wounds were self-inflicted, but we have learnt our lessons. Elections are not only about winning. The glory of life is about how you rise after falling…,” he stated.Mr Mahama commended national executive of the Party for its re-organisation and re-registration exercise and called on support from members of the NDC to embrace mechanisms being implemented to rebuild and unite the Party for victory in 2020.
