The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has announced Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as his running mate for the 2024 Presidential election, according to Peacefmonline.com sources.
Highly-placed sources within the camp of the largest opposition party say Prof Naana Opoku-Agyemang was the name former President Mahama settled on when he officially submitted his nomination for running mate to the party's Council of Elders on February 27, 2024.
The former Education Minister, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, was Mahama's running mate in the 2020 election.
It would be recalled that, earlier this week, the NDC's General Secretary, Fiifi Kwetey, issued a statement indicating that the nomination process was carried out in accordance with Article 45 of the NDC Constitution.
According to Fiifi Kwetey, “The NDC is confident that the Running Mate will bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and dedication to our campaign.”
He said that the selection of the running mate would align with John Mahama’s vision as they collectively strive to "Build the Ghana We Want together."
Apart from Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, other names that were rumoured to partner Mahama included former Chief of Staff to President Mahama, Julius Debrah; an economist, Dr Nii Moi Thompson, Member of Parliament for Asunafo, Eric Opoku; and retired Police Commissioner, Nathan Kofi Boakye.
Ghanaians now await the official announcement next week.

John Mahama,Bawumia,Nana Addo ,Jane Opoku Agyemang are all incompetent people, Ghanaians be truthful to yourselves these guys have failed us couple of times ,let's vote them out,rewarding mediocrity is what have brought Ghana to this state
That would be good for Ghana, means Alan or Cheddar is winning because it's certain that Bawumia has already lost with huge margin since 2 years ago
Mahama will lose again.
Ignore these empty NPP noise makers, their mouths have been shuttered, they were waiting for JM to dump Prof then they can say many derogatory things about him, now they've been disappointed.
@KTR, stop such unfounded rubbish analysis. Do you know what others can say about your beloved Bawumia? Why has the chief imam of all sudden found a need to send a proposal to be considered in NPP's manifesto? Not even a national programme? So if anyone has an precarious agenda, it must be Bawumia.
Mahama will continue selecting Jane because she is no threat to Mahama running as a flagbearer over and over again. All the NDC people complaining about the selection of Jane do not get it, do they? Mahama has a penchant for preventing anyone from becoming too popular within the NDC. It is why he kicked Haruna and Muntaka out of their roles in parliament. Because come December 2024, when he loses the election, who will be the most marketable person for 2028? It will be Mahama. No NDC person will accept having Jane as the flagbearer in 2028. Mahama is one dangerous and calculating son of a
Nana Addo and Bawumia failed twice to win the elections. In government, we are all witnesses to massive failure. So if this ticket failed the last election means they're a failure, then what will be a better description for Nana and Bawumia whose "failure" in government is the first of its kind?
The same failed team as NDC have only noise makers like Sam George, Ato Forson minority leader, Asiedu Nkestia and the likes. No intelligent person within NDC and reason for same failed team.
hmmmmmm... Gh
