The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and flagbearer John Dramani Mahama have received assurances from Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang that she will give the 2024 campaign her all.
Her choice was made public by the party on Thursday, March 7.
She is a famous professor and leader known for her commitment to public service and education, according to the NDC. Serving as both the first female Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast and the Minister of Education, she has become a pathfinder for women in leadership roles throughout Ghana.
Her nomination demonstrates the NDC’s steadfast support for diversity, inclusion, and the advancement of women in positions of leadership. According to a statement released by General Secretary Fifi Kwetey, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, with her significant credentials and experience, provides a wealth of knowledge and skills to the NDC’s presidential ticket.
According to the statement, flagbearer John Mahama wrote, “I am confident in my running mate.”
“I am proud to have Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as my running mate. Her integrity, dedication, and vision for a better Ghana make her the ideal candidate to join me in leading our party to victory in the upcoming elections.”
In a statement reacting to her announcement, she said “Today, I received the news of my confirmed selection as the Running Mate to His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, Flagbearer and Leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and incoming President of the Republic of Ghana with profound humility and great honour.
“It is worthy of note that this is the second time former President John Mahama has nominated me as his Running Mate. I express my eternal gratitude to him. By this choice, our Flagbearer has demonstrated remarkable consistency, an unwavering commitment to inclusivity and innovation, and an inspirational belief in the Ghanaian woman.
“I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to the NDC Council of Elders, the National Executive Committee, the rank and file of our party, friends, well-wishers and indeed all Ghanaians for the overwhelming support and endorsement.
“I am not one to take lightly the confidence reposed in me, neither am I oblivious of the national decay and widespread despondency in our beloved country. I express my absolute readiness and commitment to partner His Excellency John Dramani Mahama to serve the people of Ghana with integrity, dignity, truthfulness, hard-work and patriotism to reposition our dear country as a beacon of hope and opportunity.
