NDC to elect flagbearer in December 2018
The NDC has slated December 2018 for the election of its flagbearer for the 2020 presidential election.
General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, said the date is in line with what their constitution proposes.
“We have taken note of our constitutional requirement to choose our Flagbearer, 24 months before the next elections and the constitution not having been amended yet, we can safely calculate our timelines from 7th December 2020, so that will bring us back to 7th of December 2018 for a choice to be made on who leads our party into the next general elections.”
Already, some members of the NDC have declared their intention to contest the flagbearer position.
This includes the former president, John Dramani Mahama.
