In an effort to mount a strong challenge in the upcoming 2024 general elections, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will officially introduce Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as their vice presidential candidate on Thursday, April 18.
Following the announcement, Professor Opoku-Agyemang will kick off her national campaign tour in the Central Region just two days later.
Although the NDC secured the majority of parliamentary seats in the Central Region during the 2020 general elections, their presidential candidate fell short of victory. As a result, political experts speculate that the NDC aims to reverse this outcome by selecting Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang once again for the 2024 elections.
While the NDC takes this significant step forward, their political rivals, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have not yet announced their vice presidential candidate. There is widespread speculation that the NPP may choose a running mate from the Ashanti Region.
The selection of a candidate from this region, known as a stronghold for the NPP, may help the party solidify their support base and increase their chances of success in the upcoming elections.
As the two major political parties reveal their running mates, the stage is set for a compelling battle for leadership in Ghana.
The NDC’s decision to introduce Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang showcases their determination to regain the public’s support and secure victory in the upcoming elections. The official presentation of the vice presidential candidate on April 18 marks a significant milestone in both the NDC’s campaign efforts and Ghana’s political landscape.
