NDC tells Mahama to name running mate soon

The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on President John Mahama to select a running mate for the 2016 election before the close of the year.

This came to light when General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia outlined the party’s activities before the end of year at a press conference.

Mr Asiedu Nketia said the NDC will in the days ahead move as expeditiously as possible to conduct the last batch of six parliamentary primaries, select a running mate and outdoor all the Party’s candidates.

“The party will strongly advise His Excellency the President to trigger the process of making our running mate known so that we can prepare ourselves for the elections in 2016,” he said.

The call comes after President Mahama received 95 per cent endorsement from party supporters at the weekend’s primaries.

“According to our rules, it is our leader, who initiates the process. He will do the nomination and begin the consultation process; consulting the party headquarters, Council of Elders and then bring out the nominee for acceptance.

“Once the nominee is accepted, then he is outdoored. We ought to finish this process of filling our slates by completing our parliamentary and presidential primaries. Getting our running mate and then getting our manifesto launched then the rest will be coasting down to victory,” Asiedu Nketia added.
