Ranking Member on the Health Committee in Parliament, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, considers the running mate of the National Democratic Congress, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as more intelligent than the Majority Leader, Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu.

Hon Akandoh, was categorical that the learned professor is more capable to handle the affairs of this country than what the government of the New Patriotic Party is currently doing.

"You see, handling a university is one of the most challenging things to do, so if you are able to steer the affairs of a higher academic facility where I schooled like the University of Cape Coast, then you can run this country...

"She is a powerful woman, and if you are able to handle a very controversial university like our universities in the country, then you can handle this country properly.

"I was therefore very much surprised when I heard my leader of parliament say Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang cannot handle this country as president in the absence of the president. Having dealt with this woman as a minister and having worked with Hon. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, I can tell you on authority that this woman is more intelligent than my leader, Hon Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu," he told Kwame Nkrumah On Okay FM's Ade Akye Abia program.

The NDC Member of Parliament for Juaboso, also sounded very confident that the opposition party will win the 2020 general elections so Ghanaians can experience the able leadership of the learned Professor.

"...thus I know Ghanaians will give NDC the chance again to rescue this country from the shackles of bad leadership and lead the country to the promised land," he added.

Naana not capable of being called President - Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu

Majority leader and Minister for parliamentary affairs Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has watered down any possible impact the nomination of the former VC for the University of Cape Coast Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang will make in the December 7 Elections.

According to the Suame MP, there are other more qualified women in the NDC who have enough political experience to take up the role of running mate to former President Mahama.

Speaking to the media, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu wondered whether the former Education Minister can hold the mantle as president should the position become vacant through death after winning the election with Mahama.

“When I first heard, I thought he was going to settle on Dr. Duffuor or Nii Moi because they are economists and finance experts of considerable standing so either of them could have done it. If he wanted a woman, I thought that we have some women of some demonstrable competence who have risen through this house to establish themselves. One such person could be Hanna Tetteh who has been a member of this House, Foreign Affairs Minister, and some other areas so she has learned the rules.”
