Madam Awuni said the NDC cannot fail Ghanaians in this regard.

Due to this, she assured Mr Mahama of her continued support before, during, and after the party’s flagbearership contest.

“I welcome you to Okaikwei North, the incoming president of the Republic of Ghana, our honourable Regional Chairman, and all protocols observed. This is Okaikwei North. We are the history makers. We are the ones who shook the foundations of NPP, but we are still orphans because our father is not in the kitchen. Former President John Dramani Mahama is my father and my mentor.

“I remember when I told him I wanted to contest for NDC primaries in Okaikwei North. He looked at me quietly and challenged me said Theresa, go and deliver. 

“I came back and sat with my executive and said the man had only a few words, but the words are heavy. Your Excellency, we promised to deliver this seat to you as your birthday gift in 2020 and we did. We are now assuring you that we will give you 100 percent on May 13, so you lead the NDC to power again,” she said.

Former President John Dramani Mahama, a former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffour, and a former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu have been cleared to contest in the NDC’s May 13 primaries.

After the balloting for the presidential primaries, Mr Mahama picked the first slot on the ballot, Kojo Bonsu, Dr Kwabena Duffuor picked the second and third slots respectively.
