Former President John Mahama has completed the vetting for the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s flagbearership contest today.
The vetting commenced at 10 am at the party’s headquarters in Accra.
Mahama speaking after the vetting said “it’s a very powerful team chaired by Right Hon Edward Doe Adjaho former Speaker of Parliament. I was questioned about the party, how to strengthen it and the electoral process and how to strengthen our group in parliament. Most of all I was asked a question about the country and my views on repairing the damages.”
He added that it was a very serious interview “because of the experiences I have the committee was very impressed.”
Ahead of the exercise, the Chairman of the elections committee of the party, Kakra Essamuah had said the committee will thoroughly vet the aspirants on their qualifications for the position, ideologies and vision for the party.
The other aspirants, former Finance Minister Dr Kwabena Duffuor, a former Kumasi Mayor, Kojo Bonsu and businessman Ernest Kwaku Kobeah have successfully filed their nominations.
The party ended the filing of nominations for all flagbearer aspirants hopefuls last week.
