It was reported two days ago on the 6th of July, 2020, that the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama had finally settled on former Minister of Education, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang as his running mate for the upcoming 2020 general elections.

Award-winning Ghanaian filmmaker, Yvonne Nelson, was quick to endorse the choice of ex-President John Dramani Mahama’s for a running mate on Twitter a few hours after it was announced on Monday. The filmmaker maintained that as long as the chosen running mate would put Ghanaians first, problems would not arise later in the future.
