“I will repay your abiding confidence with loyalty, understanding and a devotion to duty.”
She also urged Ghanaians to rally around the NDC ahead of the polls.
The former Education Minister criticised the governance of the Akufo-Addo administration, citing failings in corruption and the management of the economy as examples.
“Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our country is not sitting pretty. Things have gravely deteriorated. We all agree to that. It is high time we came together to do the hard work, to build, again, regardless how daunting. All is not lost.”
“I open my arms to welcome each one of you to partner with the NDC to envision and craft and roll out a future of limitless prospects; a future where your dreams and those of your children are attainable, your voices are constructive, where your lives matter.”
She reserved veiled criticism for the New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Mahamudu Bawumia, who has recently been trying to distance himself from some of the failings and policies of the Akufo-Addo administration.
"I will not, in the advancement of self-serving ambition, declare to the world that I was only the driver's mate," she said.
The outdooring occurred at the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) on April 24, 2024.
Mahama partnered with Opoku-Agyemang for the 2020 election, which he lost.
Sam Jonah refutes running mate rumour
YEN.com.gh reported that businessman Sam Jonah previously dismissed claims he was being considered as Mahama's running mate for the 2024 elections when speculation was rife.
The businessman also revealed that he has even turned down offers to be the running mate of former president Jerry John Rawlings in the past.
Sam Jonah stressed that he had no interest in Ghanaian politics, which he described as messy.
Former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo also said he was not in the running to become Mahama’s running mate.
Domelevo said he was not interested in politics and would end up criticising the political party he was supposed to campaign for.
The former Auditor-General said he was more interested in ensuring accountability than party politics.
