Ghanaians are reacting to National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Mahama's selection of a running mate for the December 7, election.

He picked his former Education Minister Naana Opoku-Agyemang as running mate for the 2020 general elections.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s Vice-Presidential candidacy was revealed at a meeting of the NDC’s National Executive Committee (NEC) at the party’s headquarters at Adabraka in Accra Monday.

The announcement brings closure to months of speculation and several fake news stories on the former president’s choice for a running mate for his comeback bid.

"I think this is my first time seeing a female being chosen as running mate .. congratulations to our very first female for making history in Ghana," one user wrote on Twitter.

Others are also, raising questions on what the presence of a female as running mate does for the party and the country.

Prof Jane Nana Opoku Agyemang. John Mahama’s running mate for the 2020 presidential elections. What does she bring on board ahead of the 2020 polls? Gender factor? Educational background? Akan factor?#JohnMahama2020 pic.twitter.com/iN3gp82dcv

Yes but JM is making history with her. We move #JohnMahama2020

So all the pressure NPP was putting on JM, they were expecting him to name Dr. Kwabena Duffour so that they can do propaganda? Now NPP can use their well prepared money laundering n bank fraud propaganda they prepared waiting for him, to the build the 94 hospitals.#JohnMahama2020 pic.twitter.com/AApcIDqrmH

Congratulations Prof Jane #JohnMahama2020

Many congratulations to Prof. but I don't think she's the best choice for @JDMahama to capture power from the incumbent @NPP_GH government come January 7, 2021 but Dr. Kwabena Duffour can help change the narrative. Therefore, I don't agree with #JohnMahama2020 #EIBElectionHub

Prof Naana Opoku Agyemang is an accomplished, remarkable and history-making candidate any day: The first female on, indeed, a major party ticket in Ghana. , this is a very ”interesting choice”. But will it work the magic? Your honest reactions. #JohnMahama2020
