Ghana’s Main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has selected a former Education Minister Professor Jane Opoku Agyemang, as the running mate for its presidential candidate john Mahama in December polls.
Opoku-Agyemang previously partnered with Mahama, a former president, in the 2020 presidential polls, but the pair failed to stop current President Nana Akufo-Addo’s bid for a second term.
In a statement, NDC said that Opoku Agyemang is a trailblazer for women in leadership across Ghana, insisting that she has a lot to offer Ghana on all fronts.
Opoku-Agyemang’s selection back in 2020 made history, as it was the first time a major political party in Ghana endorsed a female Vice-Presidential Candidate.
