The PNC is yet to name a running mate but its flagbearer Hassan has stated he will choose a woman as his running mate.

She is said to be the daughter of a diehard CPP member. Dr. Abu Sakara is expected to break the news to journalists this afternoon at a press soiree at the Alisa Hotel at Ridge in Accra.
