“Prof is a virtuous woman whose track record and love for the Volta Region and Ghana as a whole has never been in doubt.

Our Flagbearer’s choice of her as running mate has deepened our credentials as a social democratic party. “John Dramani Mahama has taken the philosophy of social democracy, female integration and equal participation in the socio-political development of Ghana to another level in the sub-region and beyond. We are therefore not surprised about the international applause this refreshing nomination is receiving.
