The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Mahama, has described as false, news reports claiming he has settled on Prof Kwesi Botchwey, a former Finance Minister, as his running mate ahead of the 2020 polls.
State Media outlet, Graphic.com.gh, reported that Prof. Botchwey’s name came up for the appointment at a meeting held today [Monday].
The former President, however said the claims are untrue.
“Fake News. The Daily Graphic report of the selection of a running mate is false”, Mr Mahama said on Twitter Monday.
Fake News.

The Daily Graphic report of the selection of a running mate is false.
Who qualifies?
Several names have come up as potential running mates to partner the former President.
Former Foreign affairs Minister, Hannah Tetteh, Hon Julius Debra, a former Chief of Staff, Korley Klottey MP, Zanetor Rawlings, have all been tipped for the portfolio.
The party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, was also penned down for the appointment.
