Founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Jerry John Rawlings, has congratulated Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on her appointment as Vice-Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Former President Rawlings hinted that prior to the announcement he was informed by former President John Dramani Mahama that Professor Opoku-Agyemang was the favourite among a list of shortlisted candidates following consultations with the party hierarchy.
“If this was the case then there was no reason to stand against it even though I had a few others in mind,” the former President said when the former President and leading party executives called on him on Thursday to introduce the Vice-Presidential candidate.
The party founder however urged Prof Opoku-Agyemang not to deviate from her principles of integrity.
He also urged Ghanaians to go out to register towards the December Presidential and Parliamentary elections, calling on political parties to desist from activities that will create civil unrest.
Earlier, former President John Mahama in introducing his running mate said Professor Opoku-Agyemang had the credentials worthy of her selection and listed several achievements including her appointment as the first female Vice Chancellor of a Ghanaian university and her significant contribution to the educational sector during her tenure as Minister.
General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia who accompanied party Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo and Kofi Attoh, party Vice Chairman to the meeting, said Prof Opoku-Agyemang was a very good choice.
The National Democratic Congress Chief Scribe described the Vice-Presidential candidate as an outstanding candidate who raises their confidence that the party will win the upcoming elections.
He mentioned that the choice of Prof Opoku-Agyemang is a testament of the fact that the NDC stands for the promotion of youth and women empowerment internationally.

Ayeka, papa bo nnwo so. wei nyinaa yese running mate.
Even the founder thinks the woman Prof is use.less. Ndc are just confused. Making noise about this woman for nothing. Their own supporters are demoralized. They could not find anyone to challenge Dr.Bawumia. This woman has no constituency and the party people are not genuinely happy about this choice.
OYIWA! John Ford the Conman is telling you that you’re irrelevant as far as he’s concerned in 2020 election. This is the reason why I decree like the Jews said never again to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
JJ should give NDC a break. He was talking as if he will be campaigning for the party. This man appears to be in bed with NADAA (for fear of being vilified) and so what's the need to be seeking his views. Guess just to tick that box of he wielding influence.
