The Central regional branch of the National Democratic Congress is elated by the selection of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the running mate of ex-president Mahama going into the 2020 polls.
“This running mate is decent, has integrity, is honest, very upright, incorruptible, an achiever, down to earth, very approachable, highly accessible, result oriented, not tribalistic and respected by neutrals, the middle class, women, youths and the masses,” a statement by the regional communicators described her.
John Dramani Mahama announced her as his running mate on Monday after receiving endorsement from the NDC’s national executive Committee.
According to the regional NDC communicators, Ghana’s Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has battered the image of the office of the vice president, and trust Mahama’s running mate to change the face of the office when elected.
“’Auntie Naana’ as she is affectionately known in every corner of our Region, is credible and will restore dignity and trust to the high office of the Vice President of Ghana- a position which has been reduced to mockery, comics, deception, corruption and dishonesty by the current occupier”.
Below is their full statement
