The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has rubbished claims by Metro TV broadcaster, Paul Adom Otchere that former President John Dramani Mahama will likely change his running mate, Prof Jane Naana Agyemang if he runs for President again.
Describing the claims as funny, Asiedu Nketia said “I saw one television person trying to do analyses and putting pairs together and I saw I was paired with [former] President Mahama. They are all disingenuous ways of sowing seeds of discord within our party”.
“What makes his [Adom-Otchere’s] analyses funny was that before the 2020 elections, you all know that my name was being mentioned, other names were being mentioned for possible running mate and so on. The same Paul Adom-Otchere remarked that I was not fit for anything at all. So what has changed for him now to come and try to sow seeds of discord [in the NDC]?”
“Why? In 2020, didn’t [former] President Mahama go with a running mate? And has [former] President Mahama told anybody that in case he decides to go and wins the election, he wants to change his running mate?”
“It suggests some subtle attempt to just malign people unnecessarily within our party and cause people to be fighting each other. If that is his agenda, tell him the NDC will not swallow that bait”, he said.
