Dr Sharif Mahmud Khalid, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has voiced his support for the nomination of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the party’s running mate.
The announcement of Prof Opoku-Agyemang as Mr Mahama’s running mate was made during a party meeting on Thursday, March 7, 2024.
In the 2020 general elections, she also served as Mr Mahama’s running mate. However, they were defeated by the incumbent president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
In an interview on the Citiuation Room on Citi TV, Dr Sharif expressed his belief that Prof. Opoku-Agyemang is well-equipped for the upcoming 2024 general elections.
“She has been prepared for the role; through the trajectories she’s gone through. And she has a certain international appeal. Behind the scenes, she was playing the roles in the 90’s.”
He objected to claims that Prof Opoku-Agyemang is old for the job.
“Is she energetic? Yes, is she appealing yes? Has she broken the glass ceiling? yes.” he commented.
