The former president and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, is set to meet with the party’s National Executive Committee today, March 7 to submit his nomination for running mate.
Earlier Thursday morning, Mr Mahama will present his nominee to the Council of Elders.
“Today’s event marks a critical step in the party’s preparations for the upcoming general elections,” a statement issued by Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Special Aide, Office of HE John Dramani Mahama, said.
The NDC constitution requires the party’s presidential candidate to nominate a running mate in consultation with the National Executive Committee and the National Council of Elders.
“Mahama and the NDC are dedicated to building a formidable team that will work tirelessly to advance the interests of the Ghanaian people and reset the country on a path towards recovery and a prosperous future.
“Selecting a running mate is an important decision, and John Mahama is confident his nominee embodies the values and vision of the NDC and will contribute to a successful electoral campaign.”
The statement added that, Mr Mahama remains committed to representing the interests of all
Ghanaians and building the Ghana we want together.
Meanwhile, sources within the biggest opposition party point to the fact that the former president would maintain his running mate in the 2020 elections, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
