Central Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan has thrown down the gauntlet to former President John Dramani Mahama to name his Running Mate.
The Regional Minister wondered why the former President till date hasn't named any person to assist him to contest the 2020 Presidential elections.
According to him, the nation is five months close to the general elections and instead of Mr. Mahama concentrating on his Running Mate selection, he and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are busily peddling falsehood about the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Kwamena Duncan was commenting on the NDC's 14 percent score for the governing New Patriotic Party.
NDC Scores NPP 14%
The NDC has scored the Akufo-Addo-led administration 14 percent on the fulfillment of its 2016 campaign promises.
According to the paty, the government has delivered only 86 out of the 631 campaign promises it made to Ghanaians.
Member of Parliament for North Tongu constituency in the Volta Region, Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says the NDC has even been charitable in their score.
“We observed that only 86 promises have been delivered out of the 631 and if you do the arithmetic and divide the 86 by the 631, what you will get is 13.6% and so we have been generous to gift them 14%; we added 0.4% to it by rounding the figure up,” he stated.
Set the record straight
Alluding to the track record of the erstwhile Mahama government, Mr. Duncan recounted the former President's failure to pay teacher/nurse trainees their allowances, destroying the agribusiness of Ghanaians and other economic woes that befell the citizenry under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama.
He further noted that Ghanaians know the achievements of President Akufo-Addo and are confident in him to lead the country.
Mahama Discriminates against Females
Kwamena Duncan was however alarmed that the former President is not considering any female character in the NDC to be his Running Mate.
"Selection of even a partner to assist him which is a requirement, just selection has become a big problem to him . . . If you had learned your lessons, you would have selected the person by now . . . In fact, he has even cut out ladies because in his Facebook live streaming, he said I know the person and he used the male pronoun that 'he' meaning he has removed the ladies.''
To him, although Mr. Mahama has implicitly indicated his choice of a male as Running Mate, he should stop his hesitations and boldly name him.
''We must know the person and what he is bringing to the table, his strength and weaknesses . . . Five months into the election, he's not able to select his partner," he exclaimed on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme.
