According to him, there is no way the NPP “would want to lose power after a single term.”
Spio-Garbrah, a former Minister of Trade under the Mahama administration, is seeking to lead the NDC into the 2020 polls.
So far, 13 persons, including former President Mahama, have declared their intention to contest for the flagbearership position of the NDC.
Others include former Deputy Minister of Finance and MP for Cape Coast South, Kweku Ricketts Hagan, former Chief Executive of the National Health Insurance (NHIA), Sylvester Mensah and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies (UPSA), Prof Joshua Alabi.
