The Director of Elections of National Democratic Congress, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has given a fair idea as to how a running mate is settled in the party.
According to him, the history has been that people who lobby for the position are not given the opportunity.
He says that has always been the case and will never change.
“This history should teach us to ignore people who lobby to be running mates. They are never selected as running mates in the NDC.” – he emphasized.
“Relatedly, let me clear my throat: The position of running mate is not secured through lobbying in the NDC.”

Happy 67th independence anniversary!
Let’s work together to defeat the nonperforming and corrupt Akufo-Addo Bawumia government to reset our dear country on the path of progress.
Relatedly, let me clear my throat: The position of Running mate is not secured through lobbying in the NDC.
Not when President Rawlings chose Kow Nkenssen Arkaah in 1992.
Not when President Rawlings chose Professor Atta Mills in 1996.
Not when Vice President Atta Mills chose Martin Amidu in 2000.
Not when Vice President Atta Mills chose Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni in 2004.
Not when Vice President Atta Mills chose John Dramani Mahama in 2008.
Not when President Mahama chose Governor Kwesi Bekoe Amissah Arthur in 2012 and in 2016; and
Not when President Mahama chose Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman in 2020.
2024 cannot be an exception!
This history should teach us to ignore people who lobby to be Running mates. They are never selected as Running mates in the NDC.
God bless our dear NDC party, God bless our homeland Ghana
