2020 Elections: I will do all I can to Ensure Victory for NDC – Prof Opoku- Agyemang

Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has pledged to do all it takes to ensure a victory for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming general elections.

This comes following her appointment as the running mate of the NDC's Flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama

Mr Mahama named the former Education Minister as his running mate today, Monday, July 6, 2020.

In a statement to accept the position, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang pledged to give off her best to ensure a "resounding" victory for her party.

“I pledge to diligently apply myself and dedicate all the energy and intellect I can muster to ensure a resounding victory for the NDC and for our country, Ghana. So help me God.”

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said was delighted with the nomination and the overwhelming endorsement by the rank and file of the party.

She noted that her appointment was a win for women in the country, and shows efforts the NDC is making to ensure gender inclusiveness in Ghanaian politics.

“This historic nomination is not a personal achievement but victory for inclusive and participatory democracy, which enhances the credentials of our country and recognizes the towering role women have played over the ages to achieve the progress we have made.”

She also praised John Mahama for the bold decision taken, and being a visionary.

“I have worked with HE John Dramani Mahama closely and I know he is a man of vision, a leader you can trust, a public servant of integrity and a courageous leader who makes the right decisions in the national interest at all times.”
