A statement issued by Mr Mahama\u2019s special aide, Joyce Bawa Mogtari said, \u201cEarlier this morning, Mr Mahama will present his nominee to the Council of Elders. Today\u2019s event marks a critical step in the party\u2019s preparations for the upcoming general elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMahama and the NDC are dedicated to building a formidable team that will work tirelessly to advance the interests of the Ghanaian people and reset the country on a path towards recovery and a prosperous future,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

It concluded, \u201cSelecting a Running Mate is an important decision, and John Mahama is confident his nominee embodies the values and vision of the NDC and will contribute to a successful electoral campaign. As leader of the NDC, Mr Mahama remains committed to representing the interests of all Ghanaians and building the Ghana we want together.\u201d<\/p>\n
