Politics has always been a game of strategies - sometimes clean, often messy, but rarely honest.

Lawrence Ampaw, a known legal practitioner and a proud member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stunned many with a rare admission - an open confession that the NPP knew John Dramani Mahama was no joke.
Contrary to what was sold to the Ghanaian public, they didn't see Mahama as a tired ex-president clinging to lost glory.
