- As Ghana’s 2028 elections approach, political analysts are spotlighting Julius Debrah and Ibrahim Mahama as a potential ticket for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
- Debrah, a seasoned party loyalist, is being positioned as a presidential frontrunner, while Mahama’s philanthropic reputation and business success make him a compelling running mate.
- A report by Citizen Eye Ghana describes the duo as a blend of political discipline and social impact, capable of uniting the party and appealing to a broad voter base.
With the 2028 election season on the horizon, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is already drawing attention for a potential ticket that could reshape its political fortunes — Julius Debrah and Ibrahim Mahama.
Debrah, a longtime party figure with roots stretching back to the Rawlings era, is being touted as a strategic choice for the presidential slot. His tenure as Chief of Staff under President Mahama and his steady presence through multiple administrations have earned him a reputation for loyalty, discipline, and scandal-free service.
Alongside him, Ibrahim Mahama — known more for his philanthropy than political ambition — is emerging as a possible running mate. His quiet but impactful contributions to education, health, and infrastructure have positioned him as a figure of national goodwill. From funding medical bills to supporting university construction projects, Mahama’s influence reaches far beyond boardrooms.
According to a report by Citizen Eye Ghana, the pairing offers a rare balance: Debrah brings institutional knowledge and grassroots credibility, while Mahama adds economic clout and a reputation for compassion. Together, they represent a leadership style that blends experience with empathy — a combination many voters are said to be craving.
The suggestion comes at a time when opposition parties are reassessing their strategies, looking for candidates who can unify internal factions while appealing to a diverse electorate. For the NDC, the Debrah–Mahama ticket could signal a shift toward leadership that’s both grounded and forward-looking.
