Former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor is expected to file his nomination form to run for the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Former President John Dramani Mahama’s form was submitted on his behalf by a team led by Professor Joshua Alabi, his Campaign Manager for the 2020 general elections.
On Wednesday, another flagbearer candidate, Kojo Bonsu, personally filed his nomination to run in the same race.
The former Governor of the Bank of Ghana has stated that if he is elected President, Ghana’s ailing economy will see a massive recovery within two years.
Dr. Duffuor has been extolling the NDC’s accomplishments while claiming that the Nana Addo-led government has harmed the economy through excessive borrowing and poor fiscal management.
As a result, if he is elected, he has promised to revitalise the economy.
A former Deputy Health Minister and member of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s campaign team, Rojo Mettle-Nunoo, stated that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor is the best man to lead the NDC into the 2024 general elections.
Mr. Mettle-Nunoo believes Dr. Duffuor is the only person capable of rescuing Ghana from its current economic crisis.
“The current challenges of governance in the country border on leadership as well as Ghanaians’ aspirations and protecting the vulnerable,” he said.
The former lead witness for the NDC’s election petition said Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s track record put him ahead of all other candidates for the party’s flagbearership.
“His track record as Governor of the Bank of Ghana and other positions he had held convinced Rawlings to appoint him as Finance Minister.” Mills recognised him as Minister of Finance, and because of his intelligence, the Mills government never borrowed from outside sources.”
“This is a man of integrity, and he is the man that the grassroots of the NDC and Ghana need now. He makes economic sense, and he makes macroeconomics sense… The best person who can take us [Ghana] out of this economic quagmire is Dr. Kwabena Duffuor.”
Mr. Mettle-Nunoo said that the grassroots know his calibre and capabilities and that if he gets the nod, he will change the country’s economic fortunes.
