Former Mayor of Kumasi and close crony of former President John Dramani Mahama last week also declared his ambition to contest the upcoming flagbearership contest of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) which puts him in the contest against Mahama, his former boss.
Many have been struggling to come to terms with Kojo Bonsu’s “sudden ambition”, key being his former ally Joshua Akamba who has called Mr Kojo Bonsu a “self-seeking treacherous betrayer.”
Many NDC members on social media consider the declaration by Kojo Bonsu a betrayal of a sort, as days ago, Mr Kojo Bonsu had allegedly been in discussion with the Mahama team about the role he would play in the 2020 campaign for Mr Mahama following after the NDC Unity Walks.
An insider has told Ghanakasa.com that following the refusal of former President John Mahama to name Mr Kojo Bonsu as part of the campaign team, Mr Kojo Bonsu wants to prove run to prove a point.
Coming from the Ashanti Region, he hopes to run and force himself into the ticket.
Earlier, because Mr Kojo Bonsu’s declaration came from a Twitter handle of Mr Rawlings, some speculated that National Development Planning Commission boss Kwesi Botchwey refusal to run against Mr Mahama on the blessing of support of the Rawlingses; and a failure of a Dufuor 2020 flyer to catch attention of NDC delegates, the Rawlingses might have settled on Kojo Bonsu as a late candidate for the NDC internal contest.
Others have said Kojo Bonsu intends to make a strong case in the contest, hoping to force Mr Mahama to pick him as a partner for the 2020 contest against the NPP.
What is however confirmed is that Mr Kojo Bonsu is unhappy about Mr Mahama’s decision to exclude him from his campaign team giving how he believes he proved himself in organizing the Unity Walk across the country.
