A member actively involved in the operations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) within the National Executive Committee (NEC) has characterized the party's flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, as the "oluman."

According to Alhaji Koomson, the term describes Mahama's notable presence and influence within the party.

During an interview with Joynews, the NEC member emphasized Mahama's significant role, stating that the "oluman" is not only present but is also poised to unveil the chosen individual who will serve as his running mate for the upcoming 2024 elections.

This announcement, according to the member, is a critical step in the party's strategic plan to secure victory in the elections.

"My name is Alhaji Koomson, I am from Tamale, Yendi is my constituency. I am a member of the operations committee of NEC. Currently the oluman is here, our flagbearer is here to submit to us the name and the person who he thinks will partner him for us to win the 2024 elections Insha Allah," he added.

Meanwhile, the party has officially declared that Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang will once again be the running mate for former President John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, a position she previously held in the 2020 general elections.

Amid speculations about potential candidates, including Julius Debrah and Awuah-Darko, for the running mate role, Mahama's decision to retain Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was confirmed following deliberations by the Council of Elders on Thursday, March 7, 2024.

In an announcement, the NDC proudly introduced Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the Running Mate for the party's flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama, in the 2024 presidential elections.

Recognized for her distinguished academic career and leadership roles, Professor Opoku-Agyemang has served as Minister for Education and holds the distinction of being the first female Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, solidifying her status as a trailblazer for women in leadership in Ghana.
