NDC founding members wants Amissah-Arthur maintained as running mate

The founding members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Central Region, have appealed to the flagbearer of the party, Mr John Dramani Mahama, to nominate Mr Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, the Vice President as his running-mate for the December 7 elections.

Mr Kofi Mintah, Spokesman for the founding members said Mr Amissah-Arthur, the former Governor of the Bank of Ghana had been tested and proved trustworthy.

Mr Mintah said he had worked with Amissah-Arthur when he (Kofi Mintah) was the first Regional Chairman of the party and has proved capable of becoming a leader.

He said Mr Amissah-Arthur had been working behind the scenes since the formation of the party and could support the flag-bearer in mobilising votes for the party.

Mr Mintah said Mr Amissah-Arthur’s nomination would be an excellent honour to the memory of the late President Evans Atta-Mills.

He appealed to the leadership of the party to accept Mr Amissah-Arthur when nominated.
