NKB on his running mate
Nana Kwame Bediako, in response to a question about his running mate, stated that he would unveil him or her in due time.
One of the requirements when filing nomination forms is to name the running mate on the forms.
According to NKB, he has named the person on his forms but would unveil them at a later stage.
“I would when the time is right. Like you always know, we unveil. So don’t worry, keep waiting. When the mask comes off, you’ll see that one,” he said.
Other presidential candidates file nominations
Prior to Nana Kwame Bediako’s submission of nomination forms, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, filed his nomination at the Electoral Commission headquarters.
Later, the Labour Party of Ghana’s (LPG) flagbearer, Kofi Akpaloo, Yellow Ghana’s Samuel Appea-Danquah and the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga, are expected to file their nominations too.
Samia discloses why she refused NKB
YEN.com.gh reported that Samia Nkrumah, the independent candidate for Jomoro, explained turning down Nana Kwame Bediako's running mate proposal.
She said her reason for declining the offer was the considerable amount of time and energy she had invested over the years to win back the seat she lost in 2013.
While Samia Nkrumah believed Nana Kwame Bediako's offer to be his running mate was credible, she felt her motivation to stay with Jomoro was greater still.
