Broadcaster, Paul Adom-Otchere, has asserted that the ruling (NDC) has been shaken by the decision of the (NPP) to elect its flagbearer prior to organising internal elections for grassroots and national executives.

Speaking on his Good Evening Ghana programme on June 20, 2025, Adom-Otchere said that the NDC members are afraid of the NPP's early presidential election because they are aware that it is a master stroke that will ensure they have no chance in the 2028 presidential election.

He indicated that the first reason why the NDC are worried about the move by the leadership of the NPP is that it would afford the party the needed resources to reorganise its grassroots and its election machinery ahead of the 2028 polls.

He also indicated that the NPP having its flagbearer in January 2026, will be a big blow to the NDC because the person would have more time to win the hearts of Ghanaians than the NDC candidate, who he said would be voted for possibly in December 2027. "The NDC is worried because if any of these gentlemen emerge on 31 January as the NPP's presidential candidate, he is the only one on the ballot in 2028.
