Alban Bagbin or Haruna Iddrisu Will be My Running Mates – Duffuor on Presidential Ambition

A Former Finance Minister Dr Kwabena Duffuor has officially declared his intention to contest on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as President.

Speaking to TV3, the Finance Minister under the Mills’ administration said he would welcome a decision of the delegate of the NDC to make him the presidential candidate for the party in the next general elections.

“I was the Finance Minister so I was in politics but we have not started talking about the NDC presidential race yet, if we get there and I am given the nod why not?”, Duffuor responded to a question on whether he seeks to be President of Ghana.

He also noted that he’ll consider speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin or Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu to be his running mates should he get the nod to represent the NDC.

“There are two people who are doing very well in politics, they are lawyers. Look at Bagbin with over 30 years in politics, look at this young man Haruna, any of them. If I have Haruna Iddrisu or Bagbin, any could be my running mate, they are working hard, they are in politics and they will complement me,” he said.
