John Mahama revealed that former President Akufo-Addo and himself stepped into parliament at the same time in 1996 and never envisaged contesting the highest position of the land on three separate occasions.
“Too much younger men who entered parliament together with the full hair of black hair and you with the same bald head and round eyeglasses I have to say that you have without exception been a worthy opponent” ” he stated.
