Former Trade Minister during the National Democratic Congress administration, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has expressed his willingness and readiness to be the running mate for the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Dr. Spio-Garbrah believes that his extensive experience and competence would contribute significantly to the NDC’s electoral success. Speaking on TV3 in Accra, he stated that he is prepared to serve if called upon by Mr. Mahama.
“I am also capable; I am also ready. So it is a matter of his choice. If he chooses me, we all hear about it. I have made myself known and available to lead our party and to lead Ghana, and I’m still here in Ghana,” he affirmed.
Mr. Mahama, seeking re-election in 2023, has announced that he will announce his running mate in February 2024. In the 2020 elections, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was selected as the running mate to the former president.
