Asiedu Nketia would spearhead opposition to any Mahama third-term bid – NPP’s Atick Yakubu

A member of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) communications team, Atick Yakubu, has claimed that the National Chairman of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, would be the strongest opponent of any attempt by President John Dramani Mahama to seek a third term in office.

Mr Yakubu's comments come amid ongoing public debate over presidential term limits, although President Mahama has given no indication that he intends to seek a third term in office.

He specifically alleged that Mr Asiedu Nketia would lead internal opposition to any effort by President Mahama to remain in office beyond the constitutional two-term limit.
