\n

Former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Alex Mould has refuted claims that he had rejected an offer to be the running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) 2020 flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama.<\/p>\n

Some reports have said Mr. Mould rejected an offer to partner former President Mahama for the 2020 elections.<\/p>\n

But in a statement issued on Saturday, Mr Mould said no meeting of that sort happened between him and former President Mahama.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI wish to state for the record that I have not been approached by the NDC flagbearer for the 2020 Presidential election to play any such role. I could therefore not have turned down an offer that has not been made to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mr Mould said he would continue to serve the party adding that he is \u201cworking very hard to ensure that John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, the party that I love and which I have loyally served since I left the public service, win the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Find below the full statement<\/strong>
IGNORE RUMOURS, I HAVE NOT SNUBBED MAHAMA\u2019S RUNNING MATE \u2013 ALEX MOULD<\/strong><\/p>\n

My attention has been drawn to a publication in the \u2018New Publisher\u2019 newspaper dates Friday 2nd August, 2019, which has been carried by other news portals and on social media; to the effect that I have turned down an offer after being approached by the former President and NDC flag bearer for the 2020 Presidential elections, John Dramani Mahama, to \u201cpair him\u201d for the elections.<\/p>\n

I wish to state for the record that I have NOT been approached by the NDC flagbearer for the 2020 Presidential election to play any such role. I could therefore not have turned down an offer that has not been made to me.
I am however working very hard to ensure that John Dramani Mahama and the NDC, the party that I love and which I have loyally served since I left the public service, win the 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

That being said, let\u2019s bear in mind the choice of running mate shall be decided\u00a0 by H.E John Dramani Mahama in accordance with National Democratic Congress\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n
