A statement issued and signed by the party’s General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, explained that the nomination process was carried out by Article 45 of the NDC Constitution.

Moreover, Mr. Kwetey revealed that a meeting with the party’s Council of Elders is scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 7, 2024, at 11 am to deliberate on the nomination.

Additionally, the National Executive Committee will convene at 3 pm on the same day to further discuss the nomination.

He assured that additional details regarding the meetings would be promptly communicated to all concerned parties.

Expressing confidence in the chosen running mate, Mr. Kwetey stated, “The NDC is confident that the Running Mate will bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and dedication to our campaign”.

According to Mr. Kwetey, the selection of the running mate would align with John Mahama’s vision as they collectively strive to “Build the Ghana We Want together”.
