The National Democratic Congress after a long debate on the party’s preparations toward who succeeds the late President J.E.A Mills as flagbearer for the December polls, has decided to go for congress on September 1st, 2012.
The party is expected to endorse President John Dramani Mahama as flagbearer in the 2012 General Elections.
President Mahama was sworn in as president after the demise of President Mills on Tuesday afternoon.
Within the NDC, however, feverish meetings are taking place to select and nominate a new vice president to assist the new president in managing the affairs of the country.
Names being openly discussed for the vacant vice president position include Dr Kwesi Botchwey, Ms Hannah Tetteh, Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah and Mr. Paul Victor Obeng.
