Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, the Director of Elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged party members to collaborate towards the common goal of unseating the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government in the upcoming 2024 elections.
He envisions that this collective effort will provide the NDC with the opportunity to reset the country on a trajectory of progress.
Expressing his perspective in a Facebook post dated March 6, 2024, coinciding with Ghana’s 67th Independence Day anniversary, Dr. Boamah emphasized the importance of unity within the party.
He believes that a cohesive approach is essential to achieving the shared objective of bringing about political change in the upcoming elections.
This appeal for collaboration underscores the party’s determination to steer the nation towards a path of advancement under the leadership of the NDC.
“Let’s work together to defeat the nonperforming and corrupt Akufo-Addo Bawumia government to reset our dear country on the path of progress.
Relatedly, let me clear my throat: The position of Running mate is not secured through lobbying in the NDC.”
He also jabbed stalwarts of the NPP for lobbying to be running mates to the flagbearer of the party, stating that NDC running mates over the years never lobbied to be chosen.
“This history should teach us to ignore people who lobby to be Running mates. They are never selected as Running mates in the NDC. The position of Running mate is not secured through lobbying in the NDC.”

Choosing Running Mate for 2024
Happy 67th independence anniversary!
Let’s work together to defeat the nonperforming and corrupt Akufo-Addo Bawumia government to reset our dear country on the path of progress.
Relatedly, let me clear my throat: The position of Running mate is not secured through lobbying in the NDC.
Not when President Rawlings chose Kow Nkenssen Arkaah in 1992.
Not when President Rawlings chose Professor Atta Mills in 1996.
Not when Vice President Atta Mills chose Martin Amidu in 2000.
Not when Vice President Atta Mills chose Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni in 2004.
Not when Vice President Atta Mills chose John Dramani Mahama in 2008.
Not when President Mahama chose Governor Kwesi Bekoe Amissah Arthur in 2012 and in 2016; and
Not when President Mahama chose Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman in 2020.
2024 cannot be an exception!
This history should teach us to ignore people who lobby to be Running mates. They are never selected as Running mates in the NDC.
God bless our dear NDC party, God bless our homeland Ghana 🇬🇭 ♥️
