However, Mr Nketia disclosed that same cannot be said of former President John Mahama.
In an interview on Okay FM morning show, NDC chief scribe was asked if he was aware that former NPP General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly called Sir John, would contest the same position again after he was defeated at the 2014 primaries of the party.
He told the host of the morning show that if indeed Sir John was planning to contest for the same position he lost to suspended Kwabena Agyei Agyepong after four years, then he would advise him to stop to avert ‘humiliation’ in the elections.
According to the NDC chief scribe, if Sir John loses the elections again, it will be a big blot on his record.

When the NDC Chief Scribe was asked whether Sir John’s situation was not akin to that of the former president and NDC presidential candidate, who lost heavily in the 2016 general elections, he said the two scenarios were completely different.
Asiedu Nketia said that he would not talk about the former President Mahama and that it would not be right to compare the two.
