ripped politically to contest the highest office
of the country on the ticket of the opposition
National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Dr Owusu Mensah admonished the former
Communications Minister to plan of contesting and

Government Samuel Ofosu Ampofo will be the best
candidate to lead the NDC in 2020.

‘If I look at the list and calibre of people in
the NDC, people who have experience and public

crucial candidate for them.

I don’t want to comment so much on Omane Boamah
