Former President John Dramani Mahama has chosen to keep Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as his running mate for the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Reports from JoyNews, Asaase Radio and The Herald have cited reliable sources close to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer.
It was earlier reported by the NDC’s Communication Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, that the party’s flagbearer will be announcing his running mate today.
Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was Mahama’s running mate for the 2020 general elections. Reports had it that Mahama was considering these three prominent party members; Julius Debrah, Naana Opoku-Agyemang, and Awuah-Darko for the running mate role.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is abuzz with anticipation as the Council of Elders prepares to gather on Thursday, March 7, 2024, to deliberate on the running mate nominee presented by Presidential Candidate John Dramani Mahama.
According to the General Secretary of the party, Fifi Kwetey, the National Executive Committee will later gather at 2pm on the same day to further consider the nomination.
Mahama’s submission aligns with Section 45 of the party’s Constitution, which mandates the presentation of a nominee to the Council of Elders for consideration.
The venue and logistical details for these meetings, the party said, will be communicated directly to all participants in due course.
The party has indicated whoever is selected will undoubtedly complement the vision of John Dramani Mahama, as the party collectively strives to “Build the Ghana We Want together.”
