While commending Professor Atta Mills for the prudent choice, the committee also congratulated Alhaji Mumuni, who is currently the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kumbungu for not rejecting the offer but accepting it in “good faith and with good grace”.
Flanked by the NDC constituency chairmen and the parliamentary candidates, Mr Alex Sawyer Attivor, chairman of the committee, expressed the readiness of members of the party in the metropolis to co-operate with the presidential candidate and his running mate “in the battle for victory in the coming elections”.
