The son of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Charles Akwesi Asiedu, has dropped a cryptic post amid his father’s flagbearer ambition.
Charles Akwesi Asiedu, who serves as a Member of Parliament for Tano South on January 31, 2026, shared a flyer of his father with an inscription which read, “Time Aso oooo Time Aso” meaning “The time has come”.
Asiedu Nketiah’s son’s post quickly attracted attention with several Ghanaians on Facebook indicating that Asiedu Nketiah may be preparing to contest for the NDC flagbearership to succeed President John Mahama.
Furthermore, last year, Johnson Asiedu Nketia reacted to rumours surrounding his presidential ambition.
The NDC chairman emphasised it is too early for the NDC to be thinking about President John Dramani Mahama’s successor.
According to him, when the NDC get to the bridge, they will need to decide who their next flagbearer will be they will cross it.
Asiedu Nketia noted that eight months after the NDC won the 2024 election, the issues must never be about who succeeds President Mahama, but how the NDC government succeeds.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, August 26, Asiedu Nketia detailed, “I have been monitoring this whole discussion about who is running and who is not running for the presidency in the NDC, but I keep repeating my caution that we have to be very careful about the way we express our ambitions. Whoever succeeds President Mahama will ride on the achievements of this government.
So, in your effort to succeed, President Mahama, if you conduct yourself in ways that will disrupt the activities of this government, in ways that will make the government less successful, then you will have a bigger problem when you become flagbearer. That is why I have been cautioning that let us wait till the time,” he stated.
He added, “President Mahama is only about eight months in office now, and you want to struggle for who will replace him. All the names we are hearing, including my own name, are occupying sensitive positions both in the party and the government. If all of us decide to say that people say I can be president, so let me start organizing, then everybody will be going across the country, appointing campaign coordinators and so on.
How do you think that President Mahama can keep the party and government together and focus on achieving anything? If you are a minister and you are overtaken by your desire to be a president, everything you do will be to satisfy your ambition.”
