Former President John Mahama would have announced his running mate in April 2020 but for COVID-19, according to Emmanuel Victor Smith, Ghana's former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
The presidential candidate of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is yet to announce his running mate.
Already some fingers are pointing at longest-serving Finance Minister, Professor Kwesi Botchwey; former GNPC Boss, Alex Mould, among others.
Speaking to this on Neat FM's ‘Me Man Nti’ programme, Victor Smith said John Mahama "would have mentioned the name in the beginning of April but for COVID-19 . . . Most often the name is taken to the Council of Elders . . . then you move to National Executive Committee . . . so the COVID has brought some delays".

your party elect you as their flag bearer and two years down the line you can't chose a vice and you blame it on coronvirus. just imagine what this president will be. always blaming someone or something for his incompetence
Riddle Riddle, I am a man, if you follow me you'll kick the bucket, if you lead me, same fate, who am i ? Soup is sweet. Nobody wants to visit the ancestors, Mills, Amissah, RIP.
If because of COVID a man who wants to be president cannot mention his running how could he have been able to take serious decisions and rule this country if he were the president during this pandemic? JM is not a serious person. NDC just made a mistake in taking this gamble of making JM their flagbearer. You have been communicating with Ghanaians and castigating the current government on all sort of irrelevant issues through the media and social media consistently since this pandemic came, so one is at a loss as to why when it comes to naming your running mate you are using the pandemic as an excuse. If you were able to constitute and inaugurate the quack NDC COVID response team and it was widely publicized why can't you do same for your running mate. Something is seriously not right. Bunch of liars.
Ananse sem.... What does it take to announce a running mate? NDC is a confused party. Mahama is struggling to deal with his Airbus bribe he took. The guy is c0rrupt to the core. He is not fit to be president in any country in the world.
Nobody wants to partner JM. He will LOSE 2020. No doubt about that, besides, Airbus will finish him good very soon.
I think the best running mate should be Alex Mould. Kwabena Duffour is too old to lead the party after John Mahama, in case he wins the 2020 elections.
Even in opposition, he is incompetent. Cant name a running mate. Anokwa. Osaaaaaayyyyyyy the facebook president
Haba, can't you credits us with some intelligence? Do you think we don't know what is going on? How difficult is it to choose a running mate?, everyone is running away from Mahama. What a shame.
