The National Executive Committee of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially endorsed Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the running mate for the party\u2019s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the upcoming 2024 general elections.<\/p>\n
Last week, John Mahama submitted his selection for running mate, and the party has now solidly supported his choice for the impending election.<\/p>\n
Notably, this marks Professor Opoku-Agyemang\u2019s second consecutive term as the running mate, having previously served in the same capacity during the 2020 election.<\/p>\n
Despite speculations surrounding other potential candidates, such as Julius Debrah, former Chief of Staff to ex-President Mahama; economist Dr. Nii Moi Thompson; Member of Parliament for Asunafo, Eric Opoku; and retired Police Commissioner, Nathan Kofi Boakye, Mr. Mahama has opted to maintain the former Education Minister.<\/p>\n
The NDC leader formally presented his nomination for the running mate to the party\u2019s Council of Elders on February 27, 2024.<\/p>\n
Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the party\u2019s General Secretary, expressed confidence in the chosen running mate, anticipating that she will bring valuable experience, expertise, and dedication to the campaign, aligning with John Mahama\u2019s vision to \u201cBuild Ghana We Want together.\u201d<\/p>\n
