National Democratic Congress (NDC) Flagbearer hopeful, John Dramani Mahama has disclosed he is more prepared than ever to lead the NDC into victory, come 2020 elections.

Mr Mahama stated this when addressing the media after he filed his nomination for his party’s flagbearership race.

According to Mr Mahama, his switch from active politics after the NDC lost the 2016 election, gave him a lot of time to reflect over his personal life.

“My reflection reminded me of self-appraisal and helped me discover the first principle of my life and my Christian faith. I believe I am now ready to carry the party and the great tradition on which it stands into victory,” he noted.

He, however, stated that he felt blessed to play a part in Ghana’s story.

“Returning to civil life was enticing as spending time with family and spending time away from the often vicious enterprise of our unforgiving politics was very attractive,”

He added that, his decision to come back into active politics was not a sole decision but based on deliberations with key people in his life.

“I consulted business captains, leaders of the party, broader perspective of everyday Ghanaian, my administration and the party as a whole before joining this race,” he said.

Mr John Mahama is one of the eight candidates expected to compete come January 26, 2018 for the NDC’s flagbearer race ahead of the 2020 general elections of the country.
