2028 presidential talk ‘a betrayal of the cause’ — Vice President Opoku-Agyemang shuts down NDC flagbearer discussions

Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has declined to be drawn into speculation about a possible bid for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential nomination ahead of the 2028 general election, insisting that the immediate priority of the government must be the delivery of its electoral mandate.” The Vice-President's comments come as attention within the NDC increasingly turns towards the question of succession ahead of 2028, when President John Dramani Mahama will be constitutionally barred from seeking another term after his return to office in the 2024 election.

Responding to a direct question from the host, KSM, on the latest edition of The KSM Show about whether she would consider contesting the NDC flagbearership, the Vice-President deliberately steered the conversation away from her personal political ambitions and towards the task she said the government had been elected to perform.
