The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, says he is in consultation with the party’s structures on his choice of a running mate.
The former president has been under pressure to name his running mate.
However, In May this year, he stated that his running mate would be named and introduced when the country has overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to him, although he had a firm idea who his running mate would be, it was not ideal to name the person when the country was still battling COVID-19.
In a live Facebook session on Thursday, Mr Mahama said, “Following the easing of restrictions, I have requested our functional executive committee to arrange a meeting of the Council of Elders and the National Executive Committee (NEC) to finalise my constitutional obligation to consult these bodies on the choice of my running mate.
Graphic Online in August 2019 reported that Professor Kwesi Botchwey, Ghana's longest-serving Finance Minister had been tipped as running mate.
The party, however, denied the report.
Manifesto
The former president also stated that the party had arrived at a choice of a campaign team for the 2020 Election.
“We have also agreed on our choice of the 2020 campaign team and will announce this shortly,” he said.
He also noted that “Our manifesto committee is also wrapping up its work and we expect to launch our 2020 manifesto in August.”

Why does this guy wants to be the president again?He still wants to give his numerous girlfriends free houses and cars at the expense of the Ghanaian taxpayer?
What a leadership crisis! Things fall apart and the center cannot hold in John Ford’s NDC. No matter what we’re not going to fly on Airbus through dumso to imf anymore when babies with sharp teeth are on board and land us on Woyomey’s backyard. I know there could be Ford Expedition to take us by land but we will rather prefer bus branding driven by Ativor in the middle of berko power bribery crisis which indicates government official 1 that’s 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
