Paul Adom-Otchere, a Ghanaian broadcaster and the host of Good Evening Ghana, has said Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson is President John Mahama’s anointed choice to succeed him.
He claimed President John Mahama has identified Ato Forson and John Jinapor as his preferred NDC candidates for the 2028 elections.
According to Adom-Otchere, John Mahama is backing Ato Forson following his performance in handling the Ghanaian economy as Finance Minister.
Adom-Otchere described the ticket of Dr Cassiel Ato Forson and John Abdulai Jinapor as the president ticket.
Speaking on his Good Evening Ghana show on October 31, 2025, Adom-Otchere alleged, “This is President Mahama’s ticket, from what we are hearing, Cassiel Forson, the finance minister… He’s been told that if he continues doing what he’s doing until the end of next year, he will be the anointed choice of John Mahama as the next flagbearer of the NDC”
Who is going to be his running mate, our good friend John Jinapor, member of parliament and minister for Energy. The two ways the NDC want to say they are doing well in government are one of them, energy, and the other is finance”.
He added, “Ato Forson will tell you that the cedi was 17, it is now 10, it’s a feather in his cap. He will tell you gold reserves have improved and petroleum prices have been stabilised”.
He further alleged that Cassiel Ato Forson has his eyes set on becoming the leader of the NDC.
“Cassiel Ato Forson is firmly focused on becoming the leader of the NDC, the presidential candidate of the NDC, going forward to the 2028 election, and his running mate is John Jinapor.
“John Jinapor, they call him ‘JJ’ in Parliament, and he’s the deal. The two of them, Ato Forson and Jinapor, are the president’s ticket. Forget about everything else,” Adom-Otchere asserted.
