Okudzeto Ablawka 85% prediction for John Mahama in NDC\u2019s 2018 Presidential Primaries, it is very likely that John Mahama shall garner 37.1% in the 2020 National Presidential Election.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are very grateful to Okudzeto Ablakwa for his 85% prediction for John Mahama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Mahama is totally discredited if he is unable to secure above 95% in the NDC\u2019s 2018 Presidential Primaries. We hope that the Unity Walk, Regional Chairmen and 94 MP\u2019s endorsement will do the magic for John Mahama.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depletion is affecting John Mahama electoral performance,\u00a0 from 99.5% to 95.1% to proposed 85%. Again from 50.7% to 44.4% to proposed 37.1% in 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026..Signed\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Razak Kojo Opoku<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CVM Founding President.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group calling itself the Concerned Voters Movement\u00a0\u00a0 (CVM) has observed that former President John Dramani Mahama will be discredited in the party if he fails to poll 95% of total votes cast at the presidential primary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
