Maurice Ampaw has predicted defeat for the National Democratic Congress in the 2028 elections due to internal disunityHe claimed President John Mahama is pushing for Julius Debrah to protect his brother Ibrahim Mahama’s business interestsAmpaw also alleged that top NDC figures were already scheming to take over the party after Mahama's second term was concluded A private legal practitioner and media personality, Maurice Ampaw, has predicted doom for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2028 elections. Speaking on Wontumi TV over the weekend, the controversial media personality claimed the party would lose the next elections due to disunity, which has already started rearing its head in the internal politics of the party. According to him, because the NDC will need a new candidate for the 2028 elections, several bigwigs of the party have started positioning themselves, albeit subtly. He claimed that while this is going on, the President is also pushing his Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, to replace him just in order to protect the legacy and business interests of his brother, Ibrahim Mahama. These jostling for the control of the party after the expiration of President Mahama's tenure, he claimed, would cause the NDC to relinquish power to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). "NDC will lose 2024 because of four things: One, there will be a change of baton. Mahama is leaving, and so if you watch his governance so far, he's only interested in things that will bring money. That's why he quickly established the Gold Board. Ibrahim Mahama has also taken over the Black Volta.... So, anything that has to do with money within these four years, Mahama is doing it quickly," he alleged. Maurice Ampaw makes more allegations against Mahama Ampaw further made more allegations against the president and his brother, claiming that Mahama is 'in a hurry to make money and leave with his appointees'. "Mahama wants to protect Ibrahim Mahama's business after he leaves office, and so he's pushing for Julius Debrah, but the Fantes in the party are also rallying around Mama Jane [the Vice President]. Mahama is scared that after the four years, who will protect the legacy of Ibrahim Mahama," he further alleged. He further claimed that there is friction between the President and the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, adding that the latter and his people are seriously plotting behind the scenes to take over the party in 2028.
