Former Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, has expressed his opinion on former President John Mahama's choice of Prof. Naana Opoku-Agyeman as his running mate ahead of the 2024 elections.

Even though she has a good profile and doesn't seem to have stepped on any toes in the political landscape, not many are excited about her candidature.

Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo Morning Show on March 13, 2024, Nana Ankomea noted that the Professor's retention as John Mahama's running mate ads no excitement or makes no difference in John Mahama's campaign and road to the Jubilee House journey.

He said, "the woman the NDC has appointed as flagbearer is a good person but listening to the concerns of people, there is really no excitement about her candidature. To me, it's not exciting; it brings no excitement When she was introduced in 2020, there was some kind of excitement because everyone thought she would introduce something new, but she couldn't even deliver.".

He added that "her first ticket as running-mate in 2020 came with some exhilaration, as many were hopeful of a change and some spice and ' difference' from her but "even in her own region, the Central Region. So we hope this time she adds a touch and helps NDC's bid but look at her, she's a good woman so let's wait and watch how she's able to spice up this year's campaign.

In any case, I'm happy about her candidature, but I doubt she would really bring anything new to John Mahama's campaign" he added

Former President John Dramani Mahama announced Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as his running mate for the 2024 elections on February 28, 2024.

This marks the second time Prof. Opoku-Agyemang has been chosen for this position, having previously partnered with Mahama in the 2020 elections.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has confirmed her nomination, highlighting their dedication to inclusivity, diversity, and the promotion of women in leadership roles. Prof. Opoku-Agyemang, a former Minister of Education, brings extensive experience to the NDC's presidential ticket.
