Dr Kwabena Duffuor, a former Minister of Finance has picked forms to officially run for the flagbearership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Dr Duffuor joins a growing list of personalities who have picked forms in this regard to contest against former President John Mahama for the party’s ticket.

The Ashanti Regional Women’s Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Gloria Huze, picked up nomination forms for former Bank of Ghana Governor.

Chairman of the Election Committee, Kakra Essamuah appealed to Dr. Duffuor to bring his expertise in finance to save Ghana’s dwindling economy.

“I together with all Ghanaians have been overpowered by the stench of corruption on Akufo-Addo. We know it’s an NDC man who can take us out of this, provided he gets the vote of the delegates,” he said.

Madam Huze said the 2024 presidential elections will need a courageous candidate like Dr Duffour to lead the NDC to save the masses, particularly women, from the hands of the current administration.

According to her, the politician will be the opposition party’s best bet for the 2024 election as he has the masses’ welfare at heart.

This will be his 2nd attempt at the flagbearership slot of the NDC.

NDC on February 22, 2023, opened nominations for its presidential and parliamentary elections.

The two-day exercise would herald the processes for the final leg of the party’s internal elections to elect presidential and parliamentary candidates for the NDC slated for May 13, 2023, to contest on the ticket of the party in the 2024 general election.
