Article 42 of the National Democratic Congress’ constitution states that when the party is in opposition, it shall elect its flag bearer 24 months (2 years) ahead of a national election. General Secretary of the party, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketsiah, early this year reechoed this constitutional provision when he said the party will elect its 2020 flag bearer by end of December 2018 in line with article 42 of the party's constitution.
