It appears that almost all the flagbearer aspirants of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have expressed their support for the candidature of Dan Abodakpi for the party’s chairmanship.
The flagbearer hopefuls are confident that the party’s quest for effective reorganization, unity and cohesion to win the 2020 election can best be achieved under the chairmanship of Mr. Abodakpi.
They also believe in the restructuring strategy and vision of Mr Abodakpi of healing and uniting the party, reconnect it to its grassroot membership base, and restoring its fortunes for election victory, and pledged their support.
The flagbearer aspirants who called on him separately to express their solidarity and seeking his blessing for their respective campaigns include former President John Mahama, Mr Alban Bagbin, Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Mr Sylvester Mensah and Prof Joshua Alabi.
Mr Abodakpi confirmed the visits by the flagbearer aspirants, during a meeting with NDC executives in the Nadoli-Kaleo district of the Upper West region.
He was responding to a question on allegation that he preferred a particularly flagbearer hopeful.
According to him, when elected as chairman, he would support and work with whoever emerges as the flagbearer, to pursue the interests of the party.
“Every one of them has visited me, and we have had good discussions aimed at rebuilding our party,” he said.
