A presidential hopeful of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Kwabena Duffour says he will pick his nomination forms tomorrow.
The NDC has today officially opened nominations for the election of Presidential and Parliamentary candidates for the 2024 general elections.
“I am happy to announce that tomorrow I will pick forms at 9am, to contest to be the next NDC Flagbearer by the Grace of the Almighty God.
“To all Comrades who have lost hope, I say to you today, that HOPE is HERE!
The journey to rescue and reposition the NDC for VICTORY 2024 begins!,” the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana has announced in a post on his social media handle.
A former Rector of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) Professor Joshua Alabi had picked the nomination forms on behalf of former President John Dramani Mahama to enable him to contest in the internal elections.
Prof Alabi picked the forms in Accra on Wednesday, February 22.
He said “We are here to pick up the forms for his HE John Dramani Mahama. As you are aware we are in very difficult times in this country, the economy is in shambles, people are suffering and the summary here is that people are crying for the NDC to come back.
“The NDC has gone through all its structures, and elections, it is time to come for the flagbearer to deliver the 2024 elections,” he said.
He further indicated that “Ghanaians are asking for a well-experienced leader, leadership counts. If leadership counts then experience is the key, one who has done it before and one who is very humble, one who loves the people and one who believes in people-centered policies…Fortunately for us in the NDC, as a country, we have somebody like that.
“We are here to pick his form and to work for him and work for the NDC and work for the people of Ghana.
“On January 2025 NDC will be forming the new government under the leadership of HE John Dramani Mahama,” the former contestant for the flagbearer post said.
Prior to that one Earnest Kwaku Kobeah had picked the forms to contest the flagbearer position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2024 general elections.
He picked his forms on Wednesday, February 22 in Accra before former President John Draman did same.
Speaking with the media, Kwaku Kobeah
expressed confidence of a victory.
“I am here to stand and build the new Ghana, I am not here for the future, I am here for now,” he further responded to a question of whether he is only making his presence in the NDC felt by picking up the forms.
