The NDC has confirmed 2020 vice-presidential candidate, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, as the party’s running mate for the December general elections.
Her confirmation ends days of speculation about her likely retention in mainstream and social media.
In a statement on March 7, 2024 signed by NDC General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey, said that “her nomination underscore the NDC’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity, diversity and empowerment of women in leadership roles”.
The Party hailed the educationist’s extensive qualifications and experience, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to their presidential bid.
Reacting to the selection of Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, flagbearer of the NDC, John Dramani Mahama said he is “proud” to have her as a running mate, while commending her for her integrity, dedication and vision for a better Ghana.
In a related event, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman has reacted to her re-appointment as running mate for Mr. Mahama, minutes after the announcement.
She expressed her gratitude to the NDC leadership and Mr. Mahama for deciding on her once again, adding that Mr. Mahama, by choosing her, has shown unwavering commitment to inclusivity and innovation and an inspirational belief in the Ghanaian woman.
“I am not one to take lightly the confidence reposed in me, neither am I oblivious of the national decay and widespread despondency in our beloved country. I express my absolute readiness and commitment to partner His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to serve the people of Ghana with integrity, dignity, truthfulness, hardwork, and patriotism to reposition our dear country as a beacon of hope and opportunity,” she stated.
