Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, a former Trade Minister during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, has expressed his willingness and readiness to serve as the running mate to the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming 2024 elections.
Dr. Spio-Garbrah believes that his experience and competence can contribute significantly to the success of the NDC’s electoral campaign.
During an interview on TV3 in Accra, Dr. Spio-Garbrah affirmed that he is fully prepared to take on the role if called upon by Mr. Mahama, demonstrating his commitment to serving the party in the upcoming elections.
“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 said.
Mr. Mahama, vying for re-election in 2023, revealed that he plans to announce his running mate in February 2024. In the 2020 elections, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was chosen as the running mate to the former president.
