Former Deputy Transport Minister Joyce Bawah Mogtari has lauded the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s choice for vice-presidential candidate in the upcoming December 2024 elections.
She praised Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman as the ideal candidate, considering the current circumstances in the country.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, April 23, Mogtari emphasized that Prof. Naana Jane embodies both authority and authenticity, making her well-suited for the position.
Expressing confidence in John Dramani Mahama’s decision to select Prof. Naana Jane as his running mate, Mahama’s Special Aide highlighted the significance of her selection for the country’s progress, asserting that there is no better individual for the role.
She stressed the importance of strong leadership, particularly during such critical times, and emphasized that Prof. Naana Jane’s selection sends a compelling message of empowerment and women’s representation.
Addressing concerns that Prof. Naana Jane’s selection might cost the party votes, Mogtari dismissed such criticisms as unfounded, arguing that her qualities and credentials speak for themselves, transcending any potential voter concerns.
Mogtari concluded by reaffirming her support for Prof. Naana Jane as the NDC’s vice-presidential candidate, highlighting the strength and depth of her candidacy.
“As rumours and whispers of political alliances swirl, John Dramani Mahama has chosen to renominate Naana Jane as his running mate for the upcoming election. Naana Jane embodies both authority and authenticity. She has credibility in a field often plagued by scepticism and suspicion.”
“Her record is impressive, and she exudes a refreshing air of confidence. She avoids divisive tendencies and instead focuses on the task at hand. In addition to her personal qualities, Naana Jane is a fierce advocate for the voiceless, especially women.”
“In a country where gender equality remains a distant dream for many, her rise to political prominence sends a powerful message of empowerment and representation. As the first female Vice Chancellor of a Ghanaian institution, she broke down many barriers, paving the way for many more,” an excerpt of the release stated.
