Former Member of Parliament for Lower Manya Krobo, Michael Teye Nyaunu, has voiced his support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.

He emphasized that Mahama's political maturity will greatly benefit Ghana if he becomes President again.

In an interview with the media, Teye Nyaunu remarked, “He [Mahama] has learned a lot. The way he was delivering extemporaneously shows that he is a man with a firm grasp on leadership and knows how to navigate the complexities of governance. Now, he is mature. Mahama is truly mature now, and if we have him as President, I have no doubts or qualms. I believe the second coming of Mahama will be quite advantageous to the nation.”

Mr Nyaunu, who served in Parliament for 16 years since his first election in 1996, is known for his critical stance towards members of his own party, including its leadership.

He was suspended by the NDC in the Lower Manya Krobo constituency for misconduct along with three other party members.

He also ran as an independent parliamentary candidate in the 2012 elections but later rejoined the NDC.

Despite his past criticisms of Mahama, Mr Nyaunu now commends the former President's growth and experience in politics.

He described the Mahama-Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang ticket as superior and more trustworthy than the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidates, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh.
