The tertiary students’ wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned Prof. Mills to choose Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu as his running mate. The students say Mrs Iddrisu was a marketable candidate who could partner Prof. Mills to win the December general elections. The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) branch of the students’ wing said the decision to recommend Mrs. Iddrisu was informed by the results of a survey conducted in Kumasi. The group presented the petition to the presidential candidate of the NDC when he visited the Ashanti Region as part his eight region campaign tour. One of the leaders of the group, Ms Barbara Serwaah Asamoah told Joy News that Mrs. Iddrisu came first in their survey among the several names that have come up for consideration as the running mate to the NDC flag bearer. Apart from her solid academic and professional credentials, Mrs. Iddrisu, the group says will add impetus to Prof. Mills’ campaign for the presidency.
