NDC’s position on ballot shows God ordained 2nd coming of Mahama – NDC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) believes the party’s second position on the ballot paper signifies former President John Dramani Mahama’s return to power.

The presidential candidates contesting the 2020 general elections balloted for positions on the ballot paper on Tuesday, October 20, 2020.

While the New Patriotic Party (NPP) picked the first slot, the NDC selected the second position for the December general elections.

Communication Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi in a tweet said the party’s position on the ballot is a good omen for their presidential candidate, John Mahama.

He said the NPP’s first slot on the ballot also means that President Nana Akufo-Addo is destined for just one term.

“John Mahama will be number two (2) on the ballot on 7th December, meaning God has ordained him, John Mahama for a second (2nd) term. President Akufo-Addo will be number (1) on the ballot, meaning that President Akufo-Addo is ordained for just one (1) term.”

NPP’s first position on ballot fantastic – John Boadu

“It is going to be added to the crafting of the message going forward that it [the party] is number one. We have done so much for this country within three and a half years.
