John Mahama not aware of selection as running mate
Accra, Feb. 27 Ghanadot/GNA - Mr John
Dramani Mahama, National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of
Parliament (MP) for Bole-Bamboi, on Wednesday said he was
not aware of his endorsement as running mate of Professor
John Evans Atta Mills for Election 2008.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra from London, Mr
Mahama said he was not in the country and was not aware that
the Party's Leadership had endorsed him as the running mate
of Prof. Mills.
Mr Mahama said a local radio station had earlier called him
on the same issue and expressed surprise that such news was
in the public domain when he himself was not aware of it.
He prayed that all the speculations about his nomination as
running mate should cease until Prof Mills, who had the
prerogative to choose his own running mate, exercised that
right at the appropriate time.
The February 27, 2008 edition of "The Statesman" newspaper
reported on its front page that the Leadership of NDC had
endorsed Mr Mahama as the running mate of Prof Mills.
Mr Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, General Secretary of NDC, denied
that the Party had given any such endorsement.
